1998 Thomas Skoolie Converted Bus
Fully converted 72 passenger 1998 Thomas School bus with Caterpillar 3116 diesel engine and Allison MT643 Automatic transmission. About 35k miles since the engine and trans were rebuilt, and about 195k miles on the bus. This bus is titled as an RV so you don't need a special license to drive it, and insurance is much easier. Open to trades for the right pickup truck or Lexus SUV. Start your life on the road, turn heads at the campground, or set this beauty up on your property for a guest house or unique Airbnb! She's fully operational and has just undergone a thoughtful refresh of her finishes and systems. INSIDE Features: - Kwikset Keycode entry deadbolt - Coat closet and shoe storage in entryway - Comfy couch and workstation with mounted TV in living room (plus more storage) - Full kitchen including built in fridge, propane oven, two burner propane stovetop, large farmhouse sink, and LOTS of storage - Salamander Hobbit WOOD STOVE with wood storage and built in tool storage area - In the hall there are three built in storage cabinets for pantry items and miscellaneous gear - Bathroom is ready (plumbed and wired) for you to drop in the composting toilet of your choice. We used a Natures Head - Bathroom sink and cabinet - Insulated TUB! - Utility area contains a washer dryer combo unit, the propane instant water heater (when you absolutely need that hour long shower), and all of the electrical switch panels and monitoring panel for the solar panel and house batteries - His and Hers closets - Queen sized bed platform ready for your mattress Bus also features 15 operable windows, 2 beautifully decorated side doors, and one large rear exit window so you can lay in bed and take in the scenery while your partner drives on down the highway OUTSIDE Features: - 4000 watt generator plumbed into the propane system, will run everything on the bus including a heater / air conditioner. This generator probably doesn't have 20 hours on it. - Multiple storage areas all around the bus, including two large keyed Job Box Truck box type tool boxes for your BIG storage needs. - 2 Dometic Duo Therm 13500BTU A/C (Brisk II) Roof mounted air conditioners with built in heaters - 400 watt renogy rooftop solar panel system - All the batteries on the bus are brand new and ready to work. This includes 2 Heavy Duty starter batteries and 2 280Ah LiFePO4 House batteries. - The batteries on the bus will run everything you need to live completely off grid (except the air conditioners, for them you'll need the generator) - As previously mentioned the engine and transmission were both rebuilt by Jasper less than 35k miles ago. The bus starts instantly even down to very cold temperatures. Bus needs: We've never changed the tires on the bus. For an extended trip I'd suggest a fresh set. I have a friend who could do the work for you. If your plan is to park the bus and live aboard or use as a guest house, than these tires are perfectly serviceable and ready to go.
