    Full-Time Couple in a Short Bus

    If we have a chance to hold up somewhere this winter, we might pull the ceiling and add spray in insulation and a wood ceiling.

    Chevy 3500 Bus Suspension Questions: Top Heavy

    We have been running around the American West for 3 months in our converted skoolie and we have really enjoyed the short bus chassis for getting off the road and boon docking every night. We have noticed however, that the bus is pretty top heavy and tippy. We can feel the box rock through...

    Ultimate Expedition Bicycle Shoe

    I have yet to do any really extended travel on bikes, but I have recently switched from clip ins to flat peddles and have really enjoyed it. I have not missed much support or grip and they are perfect for traveling through the slick rock and terrain of the southwest.

    Full-Time Couple in a Short Bus

    Thanks! We decided last minute on the gunship grey since it was super cheap on Amazon. We hope to keep this thread alive with pictures and video, but if we are a little behind, most of our adventures make it to our website at www.okienomads.com. We plan to. I have worked 5 years in a corporate...

    Full-Time Couple in a Short Bus

    We jetted through Texas, New Mexico and Colorado to experience as much time in Utah before it got hot. This was a first for my wife and I both. She had seen Moab, but nothing else. We planned to travel from Moab through the southern half of the state and hit all that Canyon Country had to offer...

    Full-Time Couple in a Short Bus

    Now that Expo West is over, I am going to try to keep this thread more up to date. We left Oklahoma in April and travelled West on I-40. We stopped in Texas for a cliche visit to Cadillac Ranch and camping in a rest stop along the Interstate. The next day we drove pretty much straight...

    Full-Time Couple in a Short Bus

    Small update, big difference. I had previously rushed through part of the flooring job near the captains chair due to not having any more plywood and my wife having the truck that I use to buy said plywood. So I used scraps and pieced it together. It wasn't perfect, but it worked for the time...

    Full-Time Couple in a Short Bus

    We painted the roof with Henry's Elastomeric Paint when we installed the fantastic fan up top. It does make a noticeable difference in temp. I am almost 6'4" tall, so we opted to leave the ceiling along on the inside. When we build the next one, I will more than likely try to raise the roof a...

    Full-Time Couple in a Short Bus

    We have a bunch of images to post to catch up on actual progress, but we went with square curtains over the windows that are grometted and are attached by small hooks. Inside the curtain is a sheet of reflectX. So far it has kept the heat and the light in. Time will tell if it helps at all in...
