COURSE DESCRIPTION
Ultimate Blueprint To Converting A School Bus Into An RV Motorhome, Step-By-Step.
This eCourse will share how to convert your school bus step-by-step. From buying it through turning it into your adventure tiny home on wheels!
If you've been thinking about converting a school bus into a Skoolie RV/Motorhome but just don't know where to start... OR you have purchased a school bus, are familiar with tools, but want a unique step-by-step approach... That's exactly what Get Your Skoolie On is all about.
In this course we share what tools & materials we used on each project. We will also share with you the difficulty level of the tasks, how many hands you will need to get it done smoothly, and the appropriate safety gear to wear too.
Converting a skoolie can be pricey or can be done economically depending on the materials & supplies you select. We want to make sure that you know what kind of costs are coming up for each project & we'll break all of that down for you as we go through our build.
In this fully-loaded eCourse, you'll learn:
- What equipment, materials, and tools we used
- How difficult the tasks are, and how many hands will be needed
- Unique & creative ways to design your skoolie
- We'll share what worked best for us & what didn't
- Peace of mind that licensed tradesmen have guided us through our build & that is what we are sharing with you
YouTube is where we post our entertaining & inspirational videos.
BUT "Get Your Skoolie On" is where we share ALL of the dirty details.
As we complete each project, we will be releasing detailed videos & plans into Get Your Skoolie On.
If you have ever thought that building a skoolie would be sweet, but you want some guidance or a place to bounce ideas around... Then you're in the right place!

BEAP CHECKLIST:
Pre-Buy Visual Inspection Checklist
Considering buying a school bus but your not sure what needs to be inspected?
Our detailed visual inspection checklist is modeled off of the essential components to check when inspecting a big diesel rig/fire truck (Brian was a firefighter for nearly 9 years so he knows his big rigs).
This checklist is geared to help you know the lingo when you are shopping & avoid buying a rust bucket.
Top Questions To Ask The Bus Seller BEFORE You Buy
When we went bus shopping, we had a ton of questions that needed answers. Knowing what to ask allows you to avoid costly repairs BEFORE your conversion even starts. This document is a list of those questions to help with your school bus shopping journey!
SMART & SIMPLE GUIDE:
DIY Scenic Skylights
Build your own beautiful curved skylights for your Skoolie (so you don't have to duck down to look out the window).
In this 45 page guide, we list all of the tools, materials, measurements, and tips along with a TON of images showing how to confidently build these skylights on your own Skoolie.

Hi, We're Brian + Erin
Our big goal is to inspire others to think outside the box & get creative with life. You see… Life pushed us to want to live differently. Think differently. And BE different.
After being knocked down a few times, and falling deeper into debt we realized we needed to make some big changes. Story after story we kept hearing about people digging themselves out of the financial hole when they decided to live smarter & simpler.
That’s when doing a school bus conversion rolled into our lives.
We figured there is no better time than now to exit the rat race and figure out how to live off grid & BE self reliant.
So stay tuned for more on living in the wild, growing food, and making old stuff new once we get our skoolie done.
Thanks for BEing here! - B + E
