Welcome to our Toyota Coaster Bus Tour.
Our bus, Winston spent the last 20 something years as a 22 seater school bus before retiring and becoming our home on wheels.
We spent 3 months on the build and did the entire conversion ourselves.
We are excited to see where he takes us on the road around Australia :)

People are complaining about the bathroom, but I looooveeee the shower idea. The fact you don’t even have to set up much is nice!

@AsWeWander 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah it honestly works a lot better for us. There's nothing like a hot outdoor shower. It's also important for us to not have the interior so cramped because its our work space as well as living space

@samrichards8251 Жыл бұрын

You guys nailed the layout. Really like the archway into bedroom and the shower outside is the way to go

@AsWeWander Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah the archway really adds a lot to the bus build.

@il-mozzo7672 Жыл бұрын

Well done Luke and Jess. It was nice to see a fresh and young approach to a Coaster conversion, compare to the majority out there on the road. It does look classic and functional at the same time... Being a full time nomad, I do enjoy when I see Australians doing exquisite conversion such as this one... Love it...

Thank you, we appreciate the kind comment. We put a lot of thought into the build, creating something both practical but also aesthetic 😄

Really nice looking vehicle. American busses are kind of boring looking. To each his own but I would definitely have had an indoor bathroom. I think I would have sacrificed the closet space for s bathroom. But it is beautiful. You did a great job! Vaya con Dios!

I’ve probably watched this video a dozen times. One thing that got my attention was the “no more gaps.” I wasted so much money on that stuff. My airstream has around a 1000 rivets. One of my jobs was putting a dab of the stuff on every rivet and then a beading of the stuff on the inside of the frame. I found out later that the stuff ain’t waterproof. Now I have the crappy job of scraping it all off and replace it with sikaflex, which is the only thing you should use with anything that moves. I love your layout. The only thing I’d add is an arch doorway at the cab to separate the engine room from the living area. What a life. Happy safe travels…

@AsWeWander 3 ай бұрын

Hey that’s awesome and thank you for watching. Yeah the no more gaps doesn’t like the constant moving and twisting of the bus. The extra archway would only work if we didn’t have the second row of seats but it felt separate enough when we were in the living area. Cheers

I constantly get blown away by the exceptional builds people create when converting vans or buses. Yours is another wonderfully designed conversion with great taste and attention to detail. Well done ... your bus build is spectacular. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me and plenty of others too, no doubt. Nice to see Australasian alternatives to the ubiquitous, but unavailable here in NZ, typically super-cheap smorgasbord of “decommissioned “ yellow school buses all those lucky Americans have access to ... and that we drool over ... !

@AsWeWander 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! It's crazy what you can do in a small space. 😁 When we were looking for our coaster we specifically went for a gen 2 model as they have a bit more of a retro look to them, the gen 1 models are the best though!

Yeah I was wondering if you'd kept it under 4.5T, particularly when looking at your bedroom arch wall! Another downside of a heavy vehicle licence is you can't have a drink - you must be 0 blood alcohol. A deal-breaker for a camper, unless you're a tee-totaler. 😄
