I think you will be glad you have separated the shower and toilet, it's more convenient when you are in a hurry! The floor plan looks great and I am sure you will be very comfy in those chairs. Congratulation, I hope you will have a beautiful wedding and Christmas. Happy traveling.
lucky you...if you havent already done it...id leave the vents on the roof ..get rid of that small solar panel and look into what will fit in that area..i bet theres plenty of room for some decent efficient panels..good luck
Hi guys the Volvo looks great a 7 speed comfort shift and you have a black tank for the masseraer toilet you will need to leave the roof hatches on for air flow if moving the air conditioners as the bus gets hot inside with only 2opening windows and maybe fit a split system A/C and a diesel heater I now have a 5th wheeler after 3 busses I run mostly victron gear with 1130 watts of solar 600 amps of lithium battery a 2000 watt victron inverter and I took out the 3way fridge and put in a LG inverter 240 volt fridge which is running 24/7 and a DCtoDC charger as I’m driving to keep batteries topped up and I don’t plug into mains power as the solar is enough also inverter microwave good luck with the motorhome
Very nice - where are you based? We’ve bought 3.5kw of solar panels, as Tasmanian winters will give pretty poor output. A diesel heater is a must - thats on the cards! We have been talking about changing to a 240v fridge; it might struggle to fit through the door though. Will need to measure carefully before committing.
@@pigeonart hi guys I’m based in a little town in Victoria near the s/a boarder before moving here I was also in Sydney driving a bus In city traffic for a private school which was 3 school runs per day the LG inverter fridge I’m running in the 5th wheeler i took it out of a caravan the fridge is a 279 litre which is 555 wide so perfect size good luck with the bus
I really really envy you and I wish you all the best for your episode in life. Something like this has always been my dream, but it never happened. Perhaps look into keeping alpakas - the provide lovely (and very expensive) wool. Would be fun to spin your own yarn to knit and crochet. And the size downgrade... well, I'd rather have a very large garden and a tiny house, than the other way round. Being in Australia - wouldn't it be possible to build a small "shed" to use as a workspace? Shouldn't get too cold most of the year.
I have thought that it would be fun to have sheep/alpacas and weave my own yarn! But i think that will be a fair way into the future. Sheep in particular are high maintenance animals that we don’t have any experience with. Me too! We are tired of living on top of our neighbours here. We will be building a large shed and i’ll use the office space of as my studio. ☺️
Very nice. My dream life. Enjoy your wonderful experience.😀
Thank you! We are looking forward to it!

We were happy to find this bus with this layout. It was already decked out, we are only starting to make our changes to it now :) Thank you!

The bus looks so good! How many times has Luke hit his head?
Somewhere in the vicinity of 8-10! 😝
