About
***PRICE REDUCED FROM $30k Due to time constraint. Motivated to sell!:)
Skoolie/Converted School Bus/Motorhome for sale.
History: Originally a bus for a school district in Seattle, Washington. A diesel mechanic bought her and brought her to Canada where the previous owners converted it. We have the papers from Seattle as well as all the receipts for its maintenance and additions.
***Registered as a Motorhome in the state of California.
Mechanically speaking the bus is in perfect working order. The couple we bought her from drove her 2 days straight through snow from Canada to San Diego, CA with no issues. She has a strong engine and drivetrain and has been regularly serviced, the specifications and service history I've listed below:
- 1990 Thomas built 48 passenger school bus (40ft)
- 3208 CAT pusher engine with a 4spd Allison automatic transmission (227k on the clock)
- Last service was 3 months ago, it had a full fluid and filter change using premium filters and Rotella T4 oil.
- The bus has air brakes. The brake pads and drums were changed about a year and a half ago by the previous owners.
It’s done extremely well in cold weather as well as handling mountain passes in the dead of winter. As the last owners spent the past 2 winters in the mountains of Canada. It also comes with Canadian spec V-bar tire chains for the bus.
Insulation: Damp Proof + two layers of insulation in the walls (Reflectix + 2" foil lined foam board insulation). All seams have been taped with aluminum to maximise heat retention and eliminate drafts.

Floor: 3/4" plywood with Snap Lock rubberized and scratchproof flooring on top (newly installed). Flooring has been custom made with extra reinforcement to take into account any stresses whilst driving.
Living space: 2 inward facing couches that sit over the wheel wells (both with storage underneath). 1 couch features 2 120v power sockets on side. Both couches made with stained cedar armrest toppers and have custom made 4" memory foam cushions for comfort. This can also be turned into a large double should you wish.
Storage: 1 full height pantry/electrical cupboard by kitchen, 2 kitchen cabinets (under counter), 1 full wardrobe with shelves, 1 dresser/bedside table with large cupboard space, large under couch/bed storage that fits a queen. As well as several shelves/window sills.

Located in Valley Center, CA. We had the intention of completing the bathroom, but have run out of money. It will be livable as soon as you install a composting toilet (already set up to accommodate the Nature's Head or any other 12v system), install a drain for the shower, and grey water tank. Included is an uninstalled modern sink/vanity and two smaller water tanks.
We originally listed it at $30,000 but are negotiable on the price and taking offers due to the incomplete bathroom.
Please feel free to send me a message with any questions or if you’re interested in a tour.
Thanks!
