Seller's Description

“Sandy” is a fully off-grid skoolie ready to take you wherever you want to go! At 25 feet long, this bus goes anywhere. Roomier than a van, and much smaller than a full size bus. And with 600 watts of solar, a 600 AH battery bank, and 75 gallons of fresh water, you can stay off grid indefinitely. The living space is thoughtfully designed with custom cabinetry, hand-milled lumber, and real copper. With seating for four and a large dining table that pulls out from under the queen bed, this short bus is large on living. The first thing you’ll notice when you enter this skoolie is how bright it is. With large RV style windows all around, you never feel closed in. Across from the five foot long galley is the beautiful copper and tile bathroom with a shower and composting toilet. Two 43” benches with custom cushions make for a social space for eating, working or playing games. The 6’ 4” high ceiling is made from hand-milled reclaimed wood, and the walls, cabinetry and storage areas are thoughtfully designed in wood, leather and copper. The 33 inch long library over the driver area will hold all your travel books, poetry or whatever you like to read. Absolutely no leaks.
