First Ride


view from the co-pilot seat


Hello, friends.  We've just gotten back from my first ride in the skoolie!  Before you get too excited, it was just to the local hardware store.  But, we already figured out a couple of things that need attention.  My seatbelt needs to be adjusted, and Joseph's seat needs oiling, as it was quite squeaky.  The point of our little foray was to see if we could identify anything that might need tweaking, so mission accomplished. 



After an appointment this week, I picked up a couple of things for the skoolie.  I was delighted to find a pack of various shelf liners for $2 at the thrift store, and then found a scrubber for $1 at the dollar store.  The circular vegetable scrubbers I usually buy are around $6, so if this works well, that's a nice savings.  Joseph added shelves in two of the kitchen cabinets, and the armoire we'll be using as a pantry, which should help with storage.  That's the latest.

Nice view! (I would love being higher up riding along!). Good idea to take a trial run. Can't beat those prices at your thrift store! andrea

It was a pretty odd sensation, and felt so close to the road, with the flat front. It was a great view!

Great idea to do the short test run. Did it make you excited for an adventure? I would be ready to go on a journey after that. lol

Regarding the flat front of your skoolie, when I was little, we would sometimes get one school bus that was built that way (I guess engine in back). We felt it was so neat! andrea
