Heres some rare pictures of a Bedford bus i owned quite a few years ago. I originally bought the bus and got it roadworthy and through its Mot, a mean feat considering parts were so hard to come by. It had hot and cold running water a shower full size belfast sink in the kitchen and a Molycroft roof ran the length of the living space.

I had a towing dolly on the back that towed a little Wolesley car behjnd making the length around 45 feet

Sadly with old vehicles the challenge of finding parts can take up so much time and money and this old beast ended up in a Spanish orange field to write its own chapter.

Nice, thats very kind of yoo, im following your page now @lovecuration 😊

That's a cool bus. Nice way to travel in comfort. I assume it didn't go too fast

Thank you, it did about 55mph on a motorway and about 20 miles per gallon but considering if was my home i looked at fuel costs as rent 😉 i will be posting more on #vanlife or follow my page if you like what i post too 😊

Hi, very nice pictures. It is an dream for me to buy an old bus or truck and convert them into an rv and travel around the world. But its sad if you are not able to keep them running.

Thank you. Ive lived in vehicles that ive converted into homes for many years now, and my advise is to follow your dreams as you will regret the things you didnt try in the end 😉 just buy something you can get parts for too.

I'm thinking about a Mercedes Benz LA-911 4x4 or something like this. But for today I convert my Sprinter into a undercover campervan for traveling.

Do it. It will be great to see more #vanlife pictures on steemit in the future too so remember to share on here 😊
