**We know there is a lot of curiosity and excitement about living/traveling in a skoolie, but please only serious inquiries. And know that while you can insure a skoolie as an RV, a bank will not offer a loan for one, so you need to be able to purchase with cash, no owner financing offered. We know, major bummer!
