Can you imagine the fuel consumption of that and the rate of travel?

One of these old buses done as a resto mod; so all up to date running gear yet the charm of the original vehicle retained, would be awesome!

Well, that takes the biscuit! Especially love the guttering and downcomers! He'll have the twin water butts on the bonnet for next season.

The best one I have seen was a converted routemaster double decker. Upstairs 3 double bedrooms and a lg water tank at the back. Under the stairs a shower and loo. The entire downstairs was a kitchen diner. They had put two pairs of bi fold doors across the two sides of the rear platform.( those old busses had the jump on/off platform with a grab pole at the back ). No problems with payload! But it probably did gallons to the mile rather than miles to the gallon!

Well I think this takes the cake..
Another stellplatz..

Best i have seen is a 1930,s petrol tanker that had the petrol tank converted into the living accommodation. I will try to find a photo.

they do look great, so much character compared to a white box, and have to ask, why would travelling a big distance in one day in one of them, be any different to being in any other vehicle?
any why would they want to?

.

Try driving one..BUSBY.

Cold in winter, draughty,noisy ,uneconomical limited top speed . We averaged 70 on the peage I'd have thought that's very unpleasant in an old bus conversion.

You forgot to mention the swaying

And topped out at 40mph ?

The first bus looks similar to the bus they got away in in the film where eagles dare. ( if ive got the film correct, think it was red though)

exactly my initial reaction (but a week late!!!!)

We are on the CCP at Bourdeilles in the Dordogn and this Airstream is parked close to us. The rear overhang is scary for these roads and there is a spare wheel and a bike rack after that. The engine sounds beautiful too. It is French registered and LHD
