There is a comprimise you could make to cut expenses. If I were you I would buy a half bus like mine to use as a "test" to see if this is what you really want to do. You can get them pretty cheap and mine is a GMC van front and driveline so parts are available at any auto parts store. Our plan with ours is to stay at campgrounds so we don't need onboard water or power since we can shower there, cook on grills or over the fire, and plug in wherever we go or use dc power for the tv/dvd and interior lights (a second battery system required). This cuts the cost down considerably since no generator or tanks need to be installed!! Campgrounds are a lot cheaper than hotels and a lot more fun! Fuel mileage isn't much less than a full size van so this expense is brought down too.
Living in any bus with 5 other people will be tight and I hope you guys are great friends cause you might not be after this trip :) My bus will have four bunks and a table and seats when I'm done, but I could have worked the table differently to make it into one that converts to a bed so you could probably work this out somehow, depending on the size of a bus you get. You could also get a small trailer to pull with your gear in it. There are several different small buses out there with van fronts so you should be able to find one the right size for your needs.
Just a suggestion... |
