1997 International 33' Blue Skoolie Bus 3800

This gem of a skoolie is well equipped and fully off grid with comfort to spare. You will find little gems in every corner like added dashboard cup holders, a rooftop deck, and even two beds for kids or that guest that comes to see you. There is no ECU in the engine, which makes things a lot more simplified. The batteries are in tip top shape and the suspension was just serviced one month ago. Below is an in-depth look of all the features the skoolie has. It really is a diamond in the rough.

The skoolie is a 1997 International School Bus 3800 with a DT466E Diesel Engine and a Allison AT545 Transmission. The mileage is 165021.

**
The floor and side of the bus up to the windows have additional insulation. It has the original roofing insulation. I wouldnt recommend it for a ski trip to Canada or high elevations in the winter but we lived in it for a year in various climates and used a small space heater when it was extra cold which made it super comfy.

There is no shower but there is certainly space to add one. We didn't want the additional weight of the water and never found ourselves in a situation where we couldnt get a shower close by somewhere else.
