You read a lot about people buying and converting vans into motorhomes but rarely do you hear about a couple that purchases a bus and do the same with it. Well, that is exactly what a couple has done.

The couple spent a few months travelling overseas in a converted van and enjoyed it so much that when they came back to the UK they decided to buy something bigger to make it their permanent home. So, in 2019, they bought a 1997 disused double decker bus for around £4,000 on EBay and spent around two years in converting it into a lovely motor home that they can move from one location to another in. The conversion work cost in the region of £20,000 and they did the work themselves. We are sure that you will agree they appear to have done very well to complete the conversion work for this sum of money.

It has solar panels so is capable of parking up in a remote location. It has a bedroom with a double bed, en-suite, a kitchen and a dining area, lounge and an office area. It has a heating system but also has air conditioning.

You only have to go on the Internet to see other examples of people converting motor vehicles into living accommodation. Hopefully some of those stories will inspire others to consider converting a vehicle into either a motorhome of campervan. There is no doubt that a considerable saving could be made when compared to buying a leisure vehicle that is ready to use straight away. So, if you are a bit of a DIY fan, and are considering getting a motorhome why not look into this further. It may take you some time but, who knows, it could well be worth your while.
