DatzNASTY!!

With kids
My family (3 kids- 6yr, 2yr and 2 months old and my wife & I) had such an amazing experience in this skoolie build. Bryce was such a great host and was very attentive when we had questions or anything we needed. He had everything we might need for our camping experience in the bus which was a nice feeling to have just in case we forgot something and didn't have to hall everything with us. Just had to bring food, our clothes and our sense of adventure! A nice plus when you have kids!
Definitely will be making a trip back to the skoolie especially since my kids keep talking about living on the "Cool Bus" and want to go back! We will be letting everyone we know if they are heading to this area to definitely check this skoolie out! It won't disappoint!
