Detail by owner
Our family of 5 purchased this bus in February 2014 for a yearlong road trip documentary interviewing kid change-makers in all 50 states who are changing the world (http://oneyearroadtrip.com). We completed $15,000 in repairs and upgrades through the certified Blue Bird Service Center A-Z Bus Sales in Colton, CA. Unfortunately, we were unable to secure enough funding to take the bus. We are now selling the bus in order to complete the project with a cargo van and small trailer. Though our initial plan for crisscrossing America in this beautiful skoolie did not come to fruition, we are committed to completing the project with a smaller rig.
That means the bus is available for you!
