24 ft long. Triton 6.8L V-10 gasoline engine. Tiny Home on wheels. Everything you need to take your life out on the road, or to camp and get away on the weekends. Comes equipped with solar installed on the roof and outlets on the inside. I bought this back in 2022 in Lancaster Pennsylvania during the duration of me owning this RV I have done my fair share of maintenance and repairs to keep it up-to-date on inspection, it has been covered from the elements the entire time that I have owned the RV. It is registered as an RV in the state of Pennsylvania recently canceled insurance on the bus but had state farm for years and it only ran me about $70 a month. The person I bought it from did mostly all the work to convert it from a shuttle bus to a skoolie the money I put into It was mostly for a cosmetic purposes, repairs and maintenance over the past 3 years.
Below I will list the information for those were curious about the conversion done by the previous owner. Before converted to a skoolie, it was used as a shuttle bus to transport aphasia patients.
Full details below:
Removed rot in floors, and replaced and sealed subfloor. Framed out insulation and built a new floor about 1-inch higher, and installed faux grey wood peel-n-stick vinyl flooring. Used Dicor self-leveling lap sealant, Lexel, vinyl patches, and eternabond tape to completely fill in all gaps and seams on the fiberglass rooftop and body. NO LEAKS. Prepped with DICOR fiberglass clean and prep and painted with two coats of DICOR fiberglass rv roof coating in July 2021.
Two backup cameras installed (one up high and one on the bumper). Screen is powered by 12v cigarette outlet. One hard wired overhead light in front of bus. Installed this all-in-one off grid solar kit:

You can run 24v appliances off DC, but I only wired up AC outlets to simplify things for myself.
two burner propane stovetop, some closet accessories, IKEA stainless steel kitchen w/ sink, 120vac water pump, two 7.5 gallon tanks (one to feed the sink, the other as backup water), 5 gal grey water tank.
MAY OF 2025, just passed inspection with new oil change and work done on one of the rear brakes. I will attach photos of receipts I have of the repairs and maintenance I’ve had done
Willing to negotiate!

I can show it Monday-wednesdays and Saturdays after 3:30. Better to text because I don’t check Craigslist that often
Bus will come with a battery maintainer I purchased for when I don’t use it often. Will also come with a gallon of Dicor sealant, as I haven’t gotten around to sealing the roof this year, but like I’ve said it’s been under cover under a carport at my house.
