I absolutely love your bus. Its different than all those fancy new vans. I like the shape, the windows, the paint job.....I love it all! And I think you are very wise to have a toilet, even if you think you will only use it for emergencies.......and the shower....well done! Its just simply perfect. I could drive away with it and not change a thing! Safe travels my dear......and have loads of fun!

I was a full-time carer to my father for nearly 20 years and since he passed away, I have been taking care of mum who has leukemia. I've never really had time to take care of myself. This is something I would really love to do after mum goes, to give myself a chance to heal from the trauma and get healthy again. I don't know if I will have the courage, but seeing other females travelling alone, is encouraging. Best of luck to you. 🥂

What an amazingly well designed and tastefully finished bus you have sister. Absolutely love it. Not only have you saved weight with the cut-outs in your bed base but you have totally avoided incubating the dreaded black mould in and under your mattress as they also function to allow air to circulate and evaporate the bodily moisture we produce at night when we sleep. (Yep ... it's not just sweaty sex that dampens the sheets) So many earnest bus/van life newbies totally overlook the inevitable mould proliferation problem by installing solid bed bases ... and time and time again I see a lack of commonsense typically manifesting in failing to realise what a big issue mould will become ... sigh. You have, by default, already got that sussed. The extra space your bus affords compared to say, a Mercedes Sprinter, is incredible. It is a perfect layout In My Humble Opinion ... what a fabulous job you and your family have accomplished. Nice to see what can be achieved with the 'runty-in-comparison to US Schoolie bus' conversions here in the antipodes ... your Mintie is delish.

aside from roadside places and reserves where you can stay for free, usually time limited and best if you are self contained, you can stay on people's land..however, there are alot of places you can stay that still cost. Van parks are just one place where you will have to pay to stay.
