2001 International RE3000 DT466E Diesel Pusher Skoolie โ€“ Fully Certified Motorhome โ€“ Turnkey Build
$49,900 USD / $70,000 CAD OBO

This is a professionally and thoughtfully built skoolie conversion that has already proven itself on long-distance travel across North America. It is fully insured and registered as a motorhome, ready for its next owner!

Built on a 2001 International RE3000 with a 7.6L DT466E diesel pusher engine and Allison MD3060 transmission, this bus is known for its reliability, torque, and longevity. It currently has 178,608 miles and has been extensively mechanically refreshed and maintained.

โธปStructural Rebuild & Shell

This bus was not simply convertedโ€”it was rebuilt from the structure up.

Summary

This skoolie has been built with durability, safety, and long-term livability in mind. The structural rebuild, full insulation system, and complete mechanical refresh make it stand apart from most conversions on the market.

It has already successfully completed long-distance travel (just drove from BC to Ontario without skipping a beat) and is ready for full-time living, travel, or remote work life.

Serious inquiries welcome. We encourage you to ask for more photos as we have a Google Drive with pictures of the entire build process available upon request.
