This 1998 International Skoolie is a full-time home on wheels with all the essentials—and then some. At 37 feet long with a massive 18" roof raise, this converted school bus offers the height, storage, and amenities of a tiny home, combined with the mobility and flexibility of vanlife. It’s been lived in full-time for four years and has weathered everything from -36°F Montana winters to 104°F summer highs, proving itself in the extremes.
