Holiday bus


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!

Thanks for sharing your link at My Corner of the World this week!
