My wife and I shopped most of 2016 for a conversion van or panel van that we could use to make our escape from NE Oklahoma in search of all things adventure. We found and really liked the idea of a school bus conversion and set off to find a bus that fit our budget and needs. Enter a former school/church short bus. The 6.5L engine had only 107,000 miles on it and the entire bus was in fine shape.
The plan is to be ready by April 2018 to sell most of our belongings, rent our house, and hit the road for 6 months or as long as we can make it. We are young and tired of the 9-5 and all of the crap that comes with it, trying something different.
And this is the setup as we took it on it's first long trip to Colorado for skiing.
As soon as we got it titled, insured and back from a successful trip to the mountains, the build began.
Remove seats and rotted floor...✔️
Patch holes and paint floor...✔️
Patch Emergency Exit hole and install Fantastic Fan...✔️
That's all for now. I will try to update with more pictures, but in the meantime check out our Instagram page @okienomads and our website at www.okienomads.com.
