For Sale: Our Beautifully Renovated 1997 Ford E-350 Skoolie “Layla”

Description

📍 Currently located in Monticello, Kentucky – delivery arrangement assistance available! What makes this Skoolie special isn’t just the craftsmanship or the off-grid features—it’s the journey she’s already been a part of and the adventures she’s still ready for. Layla started as a dream—not mine, but my son’s. He envisioned traveling across the U.S. before college, chasing sunrises, discovering new places, and living life on his own terms. Life had other plans, but the dream didn’t disappear—it just shifted. I poured my heart into finishing her build and, in doing so, found something unexpected: a sense of freedom, connection, and adventure that changed me. Layla has been more than a converted school bus. She’s been a home on wheels, a cozy escape, and a front-row seat to music festivals, starlit nights, and unforgettable weekends. From Louder Than Life to Moonshiner’s Ball, from hidden campgrounds to the open road—she’s been there, carrying stories and people along the way. Now, with my son newly engaged and life moving in a new direction, it’s time for Layla to find someone else who’s ready to write the next chapter. Key Features & Specs: Interior Height: 6’2” Length: 17 feet (approx. 200 sq. ft.) Title: Clean, in hand Seatbelts: 1 Tire Condition: Good; includes 2 full-size spare tires Roof: Recently resealed with Henry’s Elastomeric Roof Coating Paint: Original exterior No rear hitch Water & Plumbing: 5-gallon clean water tank under sink 5-gallon gray water tank under sink Hand-pump faucet system Chemical toilet Insulation: 1.5” foam board insulation in floors and walls 1.5” recycled denim insulation in ceiling Power & Appliances: Renogy 200-watt solar panel Fully functional electrical setup Stove/cooktop included Why She’s Special: Layla has spent more time parked under trees at music festivals than on highways. She’s lived a slower kind of travel—intentional, soulful, and full of spontaneous joy. She’s reliable, easy to maintain, and built for someone who values freedom over fuss. As a Spanish teacher and a mom, this bus gave me memories with my son I’ll always cherish. It reminded me that the best parts of life aren’t always planned. They’re danced into, dreamed into, stumbled upon while chasing music or silence or stars. Who Layla’s For: A solo traveler craving the open road An artist or writer needing a creative sanctuary A music lover chasing the festival circuit Or someone, like me, who’s ready to let go of the “plan” and follow where the road leads If you’re not just looking for a Skoolie—but for a companion in adventure, a quiet place to land, or a spark of something new—Layla’s waiting. Serious inquiries only, please. I’d love to see her go to someone who will cherish her as much as we have. Message me with your number to talk or schedule a time to see her.
