With its rustic charm and versatile design, this bus is perfect for families or anyone looking for a spacious, off-grid camper.
Key Features:
* Completely Stripped and Rebuilt: Starting from scratch, the interior was stripped and rebuilt with plywood floors and ceiling, sheep wool insulation, and beautiful wood paneling throughout, giving it a cosy, rustic feel.
* Spacious Living and Kitchen Area: The open-plan living space is fitted with a large sofa and two captain’s seats, offering plenty of room to relax. A breakfast bar with two barstools provides a lovely spot for meals or a morning coffee. The kitchen features a big sink, a gas hob, a fridge freezer, and even a Salamander Stoves Hobbit wood burner to keep things toasty. Wooden panel flooring in living area and a black and white chequered vinyl flooring in the kitchen area.
* Kids’ Paradise: Sliding barn doors lead into the kids’ area in the middle of the bus. This space is designed for fun and function, featuring two bunk beds, each with its own play area, desk, and small wardrobe – perfect for keeping little ones entertained and organised.
* Full Bathroom Setup: A cleverly designed bathroom area includes a compost toilet and sink with beautiful cedarwood paneling.
* Opposite, you’ll find a shower room with a proper house-style shower tray – no more cramped camper showers here!
* Private Master Bedroom: At the rear, you’ll find a raised double bed space with windows on the rear and one side, offering stunning views from the height of the bed. The opposite side features built-in cupboards and shelves for storage. It’s a cozy nook for restful nights, perfect for soaking in those ocean or mountain views.
* Bonus Room Below: Stairs lead down to a multi-purpose room below the raised bed. Currently utilised as an office and gaming/music room, this versatile space even includes the rear door for easy access to the outdoors.
* Plentiful Storage: Ample storage space is available under most of the floors, accessible through standard coach baggage lockers from the outside. This storage solution is perfect for stowing away outdoor gear, tools, and everything you need for extended trips.
* Off-Grid Power System: Equipped with a 1kW solar panel system, Victron controllers, and inverters, plus two massive lead-carbon batteries, this bus is ready for off-grid living. The solar system provides enough power to keep the family going on all electrics, including the fridge and freezer, for most of the year, except during the winter months in northern Europe. A 2kW petrol generator is also included for additional power when needed.
* Water and Waste Management: The bus comes with a 200-liter fresh water tank, a 160-liter greywater tank, and a 40-liter blackwater tank, providing enough capacity to keep a family on the road and off the grid for about a week.
* Rustic Finishes: Plywood and wood paneling features throughout the bus give it a warm, rustic ambiance, perfect for creating a homey feel wherever you go.
