Putting Cabinets in our Skoolie
Channel: Inconvenience Today
Date: 2023-11-10

Installing cabinets under our counter in our skoolie is a project we've had in mind since first starting our school bus conversion.  Kitchen cabinet sets are not cheap. We spent quite a bit of time hoping to find something second-hand on marketplace or the local re-store.  But all we found were things that were too small, too expensive, or really unattractive.  But the off-the-shelf cabinets we found and were 10% off, worked really well.  We had to work around a wheel well and make modifications to all of them both to fit under our counter and to go flush against the wall. But before we can install them, we decided we also should remove the heaters that are run by an electric fan and a loop of hose running antifreeze to the engine compartment. We don't ever anticipate wanting to heat the bus when driving, and they are really in the way. Especially the one under the butcher-block countertop we put in.  Our neighbor stopped by at the perfect time because he needed to get some antifreeze to put in his Caterpillar bulldozer.
