American couple Robbie and Priscilla transformed a 1998 Thomas school bus into a mobile home. ( picture from Ins: Going Boundless) Maybe an ordinary school bus trip will not make people How exciting, but for the young couple, this converted mobile home took them to see many wonderful scenery.
This couple is a well-known blogger on Instagram (@Going Boundless). They spent a year and a half building a dream mobile home. They can enjoy traveling with their cats without having to worry about leaving their pets. Guilt for staying home.
Prisla said, "The happiest time is to go to a new place, taste new food, and immersively experience new cultural customs. This makes us look forward to the next unforgettable experience."
2017 , the couple began to try to transform the school bus into a Skoolie RV in order to achieve their goal of traveling around the United States and Canada while working remotely.

Prisla said they chose to use a school bus instead of a traditional RV for renovation because the school bus has enough space and they wanted to create a real home in the car. The small home has an open-plan kitchen and leisure area, a bedroom and bathroom, and even an outdoor terrace.
"Hopefully it will look more like a tiny house and not just an RV. Tiny house dwellers have an enviable lifestyle. So we thought, why not transform it into a mobile cabin"
"In order to make it It looks more comfortable and we even put in a real door,” Prisla added. It’s worth noting that their tiny home also has plenty of life-like touches, like a wood-burning stove, home-like wall tiles, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, washer and dryer combo, and a real glass shower door. .
The interior of the school bus before the renovation was also very messy. As for the cost of RV modification and decoration, the couple said they have not yet totaled the cost, but they made full use of DIY and renovated it themselves to reduce costs. They told reporters: "We haven't calculated all the receipts together, but we have indeed saved a lot of money through DIY."
Although DIY has saved the couple a lot of money, the process is not easy. "We almost gave up twice," Prisla said. "One time we even listed the gutted school bus on a second-hand website for auction because the windows kept leaking and we No solution could be found.”
And when they finally solved the window leakage problem, the car’s engine had to be repaired in a repair shop for several months due to malfunctions. This undoubtedly poured cold water on their excitement and expectations for the trip.
In March 2019, after months of non-stop planning, the couple finally got behind the wheel of their new car and headed to the east coast of the United States for a simple and carefree trip.

In 2020, they originally planned to We went on an adventure in South America, but our planned trip to Brazil was completely disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. "We were supposed to be on the West Coast, but the schedule changed a little bit because we were going to be at home for four months," she said. As the European Union lifted restrictions on non-essential travel for U.S. tourists last week, international travel is gradually returning to normal. They can finally start planning their next adventure.
