<br><br>Thank you, We are about an hour north of Appleton.

Thank you! I think the holding tanks are one of the better features of the bus. With the six of us we can go about a week without needing to dump which is nice!

We are planning a trip down to Tennessee at the end of the month and then not sure where from there. I would really like to become a snowbird and live at our seasonal campground in Wisconsin during the summer and anywhere but Wisconsin in the winter.<br><br>As far as the generator it is a 7000...

It has been a while since I posted here so I figured I would give a little update.<br><br>We got Farold painted, added an A/C unit as well as a 7000 watt generator.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Well after 43 days, 4248.1 miles and 16 states we have completed our first trip with Farold. What a great ride it was! This is the first time in my life I am not happy to be home, lol. I see fulltiming in our future!<br /><br />Here is a pic of a Google Map that I created showing about where we...

We were in Fort Pickens, FL when we took that pic. What a great place.

People really look now, even more than normal. It is fun watching people look up above my head to read what is up there. It is really an interesting experience driving a Skoolie. I have had people wave and people stop and ask about it. At PirateLand in Myrtle Beach the receptionist asked what...

So a couple weeks back we had sort of a coloring contest between the kiddos. They were each giving the task of creating two designs that said travelinwithus.com. Once the designs were finished we would all vote as a family on which one we liked best and then paint that design on Farold. They...

<br /><br />My favorite also! I have to add one:<br /><br />You go on a month long trip in your Skoolie with your family and you get toward the end of your trip and don't want to go home.... you might be a vandweller.

<br /><br />We have a 35 gal fresh water tank that sits in the cabinets below where the stove is. I'm not sure what we are going to do for permanent curtains. The bus is 35' long and has a DT408 engine in it. I am very happy with its performance both mileage wise and also driving thru the...

For years I wanted to do this but never made it a priority. After spending the summer in our 35' park model camper at our campground about 1 hour away from our home we found we didn't want to go home. We enjoyed living in our camper so much and being outdoors and together we decided we should...

We are currently using some cheap blankets that we got at Wal-Mart to cover the windows. We use velcro to put them up when parked and take them down when moving. We like being able to look out all the windows while driving.<br /><br />You wouldn't believe how many people have mentioned the...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!<br /><br />We are homeschooling for the first time this year and it is going great. We had a couple family meetings to discuss it with all the kids and everyone decided this is what we wanted to do. While our trip is only going to be about a month and a half...

Thank all of you guys for the great comments. We really had fun doing the conversion and are having a blast on our trip.

I figured I would show some pics of our rig Farold that my 13 year old son and I converted in 1 month (14 days of concentrated work). We decided to name the Skoolie Farold because the name means Powerful Traveler.<br /> <br /> I bought this bus 3 years ago and after spending the summer in our...

Hello all,<br /><br />Just wanted to stop by and say hello. My wife, 4 children and I are on our first trip in our Skoolie since we completed our conversion on it. I will post some pics in the conversion thread. We are currently at Myrtle Beach, SC. and having a blast. We are 21 days into our...
