Join me this week as I take you on my first-ever camping adventure in this 1980s American school bus which was imported all the way from California in the US to the UK. In this video we take a look at this huge bus which was transformed into a tiny house on wheels.
I'll also give you a full tour of the van and take you through every step of the journey including driving this monster for the first time.

I always preferred these rounded Crown buses to the more boxy Blue Birds when I rode the bus to school in the 70's. My great aunt was even my bus driver for a year. Our school district numbered the buses making it easy to know how old it was (6-71 was bus #6 built in 1971.) Not sure if they altered things in the conversion, but the double doors in the back was for a (relatively) small boot. Not sure about that swing-out arm on the front, later years had a flip-out stop sign on the rear side that extended when the flashing red lights were activated. Our rules were the lights had to be activated whenever passengers were getting on or off the bus, even when parked at the school and they parked about 6 inches from the bus in front so that arm wouldn't work. The drop-down side windows had a tendency to go crooked if you didn't latch both sides perfectly. Lots of memories of these buses.

Omg. Even though i haven't watched you for a decently long amount of time, I first watched you when you started the 'living in Nepal' series when you had around 5k subs. It's so good to see you crossing 200k subs. Keep grinding will!

In 1998 I passed my bus test and drove coaches, mini buses and double deckers. The Deckers used to terrify me to drive but they were great fun on a skid pan. I did a full 180 rear wheel skid on a wet surface, it was one of the most scary yet exhilerating things I've ever done.........

The vehicle must be constructed or adapted to carry no more than 8 people in addition to the driver. You must be aged 21 and have held a category B licence for at least 2 years. A mobile project vehicle may only be driven on behalf of a non-commercial organisation. If you pass your driving test (category B) before 1 January 1997, you may be able to drive a vehicle commercially. Buses you can drive with a full car (category B) licence You can drive any of the following vehicles known as "exempted passenger' carrying vehicles: • a bus made more than 30 years before the date it is being driven, and not used for business purposes or for carrying more than 8 passengers
