We have a date with our engineer this week as we finally change the classification of our school bus to a motorhome.
We have been working tirelessly for 2 years to get this dream to fruition and in today's vlog we either have our dreams come true or our nightmares realised.
Spend the week with us getting some big tasks done for the bus and just enjoying the slow, simplicity of bus life.
In 2024/2025 We will be taking our home on wheels around Australia to be a part of this epic trip get in touch via our email address below

Congratulations to you both on getting the modification plate. It would have been a great relief for you and now you can relax 'a bit', lol. What a proud moment it would have been when Sam attached the plate to the bus. Haven't had hash potatoes in ages - must rectify that! The new windscreen wipers will make a big difference to your visibility - couldn't believe how much difference it made when I changed the ones on my car! Safe travels. Susan xx

[@DiandSam]

Hahahaha 'a bit' yes we definitely plan on it, its been a big task but we are grateful we kept going and appreciate your support throughout, now comes the fun of exploring and learning from others. Sam says I now have the best view, he's a bit jealous i didn't break the other window - though we wouldnt be here if i did haha! Take care lovely Susan, stay warm

Good work, congratulations. I love the way you’ve done. The interior of the Bus. Really looking forward to seeing more of your adventures. Cheers, Andy.

[@DiandSam]

Thanks so much Andy, we love it too, simple and cosy, just our vibe! We'll see you around! Take care

[@il-mozzo7672]

Congratulation guys, for finally having reach the post.. I still remember that day I got my new registration from bus to motorhome.. It is a feeling that cannot be described.. I have been following your project since the beginning and I always liked how you both are so genuine and down to earth... I wish you both all the best, and we may meet perhaps one day on the road... My bus comes from Ballarat as well (Ballarat Coachlines), but I'm in QLD at the moment... Keep up the good work...

[@DiandSam]

I said it before and I'll say it again. No Better Feeling! 😁 Such a monumental mountain we climbed and now we get to begin the exploring and life that we steamed. And so far I must say we are loving it! Thanks for the encouragement friend ❤️😊🌻🚌

[@Dharmaholic]

Unreal!!! I've been following since you gpt the 'Bus', and am really impressed how you have both progressed to the "Motorhome' stage. Bon voyage.

[@DiandSam]
