Some folk would be BUSting to own it.

The best thing about it is you could park in the coach only parking spots on carparks.

Makes sense to me. If I was going out to spend £60k on a new pv mh, I think ld rather have the big daft bus conversion and have £30k left aside for fuel and maintenance.

I'm not on FB but I'd like to see some photos of the inside conversion. It looks the biz from the outside.

I'm guessing that it might be a struggle to park in most campsites and that most wilding would have to be done in a coach area of a car park.

It looks nicely done tbf

You could live in that no bother. Just need to find somewhere to park it, but I guess that wouldn't be too big a problem, if you know the right people, or have the space outside your own property?

Damn site cheaper than buying some of the modern cr*ppy houses they build!

And if you don't like the scenery or the neighbours, fairly easy to drive off and escape to somewhere else.
Can't do that with bricks and mortar.

 

[GMJ]

I expect you need more than a pre 1997 standard licence to drive it though. It must weigh a fair bit.

 

[Snapster]

certainly over 7500kg, more nearer 10000kg I would think.

 

[mariesnowgoose]

Definitely liveable full-time.
For me it would be parked up in one spot most of the time...!

 

[st3v3]

That's a lot of MH for 30k, I quite like it.

 

[mark61]

Could certainly live in it, wouldn't be so keen on a touring trip in it though.
Yes, a lot of MH for the money. You could probably pick up a tatty Skyliner for about £4000, decent old one around £10000. I couldn't get that conversion done for 20k.

certainly over 7500kg, more nearer 10000kg I would think.

A quick google and it says...26,000kg

Good grief…….

Probably seems like a good buy until you end up on a single track road with passing places.....

Coaches go to a lot of pretty small places though

 

[dunfillin]

It's what you meet that's the problem - especially if it's another coach.

 

[GMJ]

...especially if they know what they are doing and you don't!

As a PSV it would be between 22 and 26 tonnes but that would include approx 60 passengers and their luggage . Probably 8-10 mpg ouch ! I,ll stick with my Merc 614 for now .
