Hi all,

SWMBO & I are seriously looking at either converting a bus/coach/horse box to live in or buying one that has already been done. We have no kids to consider (four dogs though!) and are France bound as we're going to buy a home there.

The bus/coach will be our home while we travel around the countryside looking at all the regions, until we settle somewhere.

We are looking at this option instead of a motorhome as we feel the motorhomes are too pricey for the space we'd like. Our budget is £15000 max.

It seems that coaches and buses can be bought for less than £5k...then we'd do the fitting out, as we're both good with our hands and SWMBO has completed two years of carpentry & joinery at college.

If we have to take additional driving tests, it's no bother.

All comments (and piss taking) welcome :-)
