Ad Astra Adventures ✨Ad Astra - To The Stars✨

Working towards a life of intention and tiny living. Some might be wondering what exactly a skoolie is. Let's explain that.

A skoolie is a pre-owned (or new) school bus that has been converted into a motorcoach or tiny home on wheels. A skoolie can come in many sizes, busses can range from 17-45 feet long. Skoolies can be as simple as loading a bunch of furniture and appliances on a bus and throwing a little electrical in to get it to work out. Or, you can do a massive overhaul involving raising the roof, adding insula

tion, framing, and custom furniture builds to give it a real home feel. The Ad Astra is the following build:

2004 30ft Flat Nose IC Bus FE300 | International 3900 chassis
2003 DT466e Engine | Allison MD3060 Transmission (6th Speed Unlocked)

Apologies for the radio silence over the past few months. Our family experienced a home fire in December, thankfully everyone and all the pets ended up ok. We’re on hiatus for the bus build until our home is rebuilt which is going to take at least a year.

We let our princess Noah explore the bus as we took a rest. It has officially received her seal of approval.

The angle grinder came in and is making quick work of our two remaining seats that are a bit more tucked away than the others.
