r/skoolies is a subreddit with 100k members. The most common kinds of discussions are solution requests and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses bus, looking for, skoolie, finding, and build, and they frequently recommend/review power tools and camera system.
Welcome to the Skoolie & Bus Life community. We are an inclusive community primarily surrounding Skoolie and Bus life (and we even love on the Vanlifers). We are a supportive community with a first rule of "Be Nice". We welcome all questions and discussion on this lifestyle. This can be anything from, "How to make money on the road?" to "How do I install my Solar MPPT controller?".
