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.

    The irony of having a full kitchen and you making the most simple meal is hilarious 🤣🤣
  • As an American, I was expecting you to fix a hamburger or a hot dog for dinner. Love all the American license plates decorating the bus, especially the Indiana plate given I was born and raised in Indiana. I am loving this new series, Will. Now, you need to come to the US and take a class A coach out.

    I moved to the US when I was 5 and grew up being picked up from my street near home and dropped off after school. I also remember seeing this at vanlife festival at Stratford-Upon-Avon 2022!

    He did a really good job of outfitting that bus. I like my bacon crispy as well.
  • @themagicboy6548
    So that stop button in the back is actually a button to stop the startup/shutdown alarm, makes the driver walk to the back to make sure all the children are accounted for

    When you were trying to drive it for the first time with the owner watching right behind you, I could feel the stress through my screen. It's like learning to drive with your dad all over again, except way more difficult
  • @Idiofied
    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!
  • @chox2001
    That’s a true home on wheels. It’s a dream. I have probably a similar solar system with 4 leisure batteries. A worry to drive arround if it’s not yours.

    Will is literally the only youtuber that consistently levels up with every video! What a legend! 👏🏻
  • @femalism1715
    LOL! An American Skoolie in the UK!!! Hilarious! I can't wait to watch the video!
  • Funny, we were so close together at, what I presume is, the same time. I was near where you are on Friday - Saturday. I don’t think I saw you unfortunately.
  • I think he did very well driving the bus. It would be a great way to travel across Europe. It has so much space for storage.
  • Will, you did it again, another entertaining surprising a-class video and I'm probably right in assuming you must be the first person ever in the UK to review a converted american school bus. Can't wait for the follow up video on this video...
  • The front rail extender is so the driver can see children as they are forced to walk out into eye site.
  • @Theorangeman.
    Been excited to see your video today mate. I always know it will be a belter. It didn’t disappoint mate
  • @si_h44
    another great watch will and a cracking house on wheels that was, it looked minted!!!!
  • @LorraineG123
