So, we looked at two buses, decided not to buy them, waited a while longer, then saw this bus advertised on a Monday, Darren flew to see itnon Wednesday then drove it home and was home Thursday. We barely got it too, because another couple offered more for it, but we think the sellers didn’t like them, and gave it to us since we inquired first, when it was their right to accept the higher offer.
It’s a 1985 bus, 8 meters long. We are going to put the lounge, kitchen, and dining room in the bus and then pull a trailer with the shower, toilet and beds.
We are so excited! It will probably take at least a year before its all done, but in the meantime we have moved to Darren’s parent’s farm and are living in their bus, which they don’t use. It’s quite cozy and we are enjoying being on the farm. Below are some photos of the bus we bought, and the bus we are living in currently. The last photo is of Boy playing with a toy Darren made for him two weeks ago. It has buttons that turn on different colour lights.
Your bus is great. You will find putting it together is a lot of fund hard work. Worth all the effort. Looks like our bus before we started working on it. Have fun
Cool, we are so looking forward to the experienceš
We just bought a bus too. We haven’t picked it up yet. Do you need a CDL to drive it?
Never mind about my question. I just realized you are not in the states. We want to just drive it home but can’t figure out the law.
Not sure about in the states, but here in NZ you can’t drive it without a COF, even if its just to transport it. If no COF then have to pay someone to move in for you with a trailer or tow truck or something…. I’d guess it would be similar in the states, possibly different in each state. Sorry I couldn’t help much! Hope you love your new bus!
