Have you seen many of these? Many people use old buses to go on holiday in, they convert them by removing all the seats and putting in furniture and a kitchenette. It's a cheap way to travel I guess.

Amy, any Recreational Vehicle (RV), as they are called over here, is a great way to travel -- and safer in this age of COVID. We have drive (and even lived) in all kinds of RVs, everything except a fitted-out bus like that one I think!!
We saw that on the way to Castle hill near Springfield...it could be one of the Original Gypsy Fair buses?
Yes, we call them RV's here, but I love the sound of "holiday bus". So cheery!

We saw a programme recently about a couple from ChCh who lived on a converted bus . They have 2 children and move around NZ. Inside it was a really comfortable home and they seemed to have a great lifestyle
Great way to live if you're young, can work online and of course are good at DIY
They love them here too. We have a youth hostel in our street so there used to be a lot of campers and combi parked in the street before they headed off up the coast. It's sadly very empty now - a few people, but locals needing cheap accom I think.
I've seen the odd one here.
Sounds a good idea.
I agree with Sallie - an RV is perfect for travel during the pandemic.
I've only seen such vehicles (not converted old buses though) at a travel fair. Never seen one on the road over here in my corner of the world so far.
I think it's a brilliant idea Amy, much better than sleeping in a tent :) It would be like traveling with a mini house, great idea.
We are planning to do just that on return to NZ- convert a bus and travel about until we find a place to buy some land to make a more permanent home on. After years of living on a yacht a bus should be positively luxurious in terms of space.
We lived in a fifth-wheel caravan for several years, much the same as living in a bus except we could park up and leave it behind when we wanted to go anywhere. I would hate to have to park a bus every time I wanted to go shopping!
Look nice to travel with such a bus.
I've seen a few but mostly I see the motorhomes that were built specifically for that purpose. This one is attractive.
...Jimmy B seems to have all the comforts of home!I'm not sure that I'd like driving this big bus around. Thanks Amy for stopping by.
I think sadly they are not to be found in Germany, but I saw docus on this. Wonderful way to travel. Easier, too, than in a 4-wheeler where you have to put everything from back to the front for the night and back again the next morning.
Either way: To freedom, to travel! And adventures.
I bought an old bus together with a few friends back in the mid 1980s. Fixed it up during the winter. The plan was to drive around the continent for a month. But two days before we had planned to leave two of the drivers jumped ship.
I can imagine how great that would be to travel!
