The Thunder Cloud- 35' Skoolie---A MUST SEE!!!

Please call 432-287-7986 to inquire or apply for financing for this tiny house here.


This school bus has been remodeled into a customized dream home with all the necessities, and with the convenience of being able to travel freely. The skoolie was converted 4 years ago for a family of four and is now ready for its next owner and next destination.

This bus conversion is outfitted for a fully off-grid lifestyle powered by 8 solar panels, and comes with the ability to enjoy the shore power of any standard campground hook-up. With an 18,000 BTU Mini-Split HVAC system and a 8KW diesel heater, it withstands the hottest summer days and cold winter nights.

Walking into your new home on wheels, the decor is chic and features pop of teal as a fun design feature. What once was stairs to enter a school bus is now a front entryway with space to hang keys or a jacket and a shoe rack.

You walk into the living room and kitchen area has hexagonal tile, a full size sink, and 4 burner propane stove / oven. The cabinets match the teal wall and there is lots of counter space for preparing food. A TV hangs over the driver seat area, and there is a long custom couch space with storage underneath.

There are custom curtains that can be opened for windows all around allowing in lots of natural light. The refrigerator is built into the wall and has more storage for pots and pans underneath.

The bedroom is in the back, featuring a queen size bed and two crib sleeping spaces for babies. There is space for children's books above the crib, so you can choose a book to read your little one to sleep every night. This custom home on wheels is perfect for those expecting, or with small children. The space could also be customized for more storage as well. There is an AC unit over the bed for maximized sleep comfort.

The bathroom is two spaces, one with a toilet, sink and mirror, and then a custom tile work shower. The shower has a bench and is a good size.

In the back, there is a storage area that is accessible from the outside, acting as your garage or shed space. On the front is a bike rack, and the side has a ladder which accesses the rooftop deck space.

The bus itself has a completely rebuilt engine and is currently registered as an RV in Florida.

This tiny home on wheels truly has all the comforts of a traditional home, with the freedom to travel and go anywhere you please. This skoolie is move in ready, so adventure awaits!

Mechanical Specs:
Over the last 2 years, many parts have been replaced to ensure it
is a safe and reliable home on wheel, with the largest investment
being a complete engine overhaul. The newly rebuilt engine has

area during two maternity travel hiatuses. With this engine rebuild,
it is like having a brand new engine with reset mileage, so it
should last for thousands of miles to come.
