- Welcome to Part II of our Toyota Coaster 2004 mini-bus tour. In this episode, we dive into the technical side of our bus build, sharing the nuts and bolts behind our self-renovated mobile home. From the electrical setup and plumbing system to insulation and solar power, we cover all the essential details that make our nomadic lifestyle possible.
Our journey on the road is fuelled by the spirit of adventure and the freedom to explore. We hope this video not only informs but also inspires you to consider the endless possibilities of life on wheels. Whether you're a seasoned traveller or just curious about the mechanics of a bus conversion, there's something here for everyone.
Dream big, live simply, and embark on your own road-bound adventures.
Hey there! We're Sal and Anth, full-time adventurers living our best life on wheels. From the highs of breathtaking vistas to the lows of breakdowns by the roadside, we share our real experiences of bus life. Follow us as we navigate the unpredictable roads of nomadic living. Your support keeps our wheels turning-every view, like, and share brings us closer to the next horizon.
Absolutely brilliant ❤
Thank you! 🩷
That shower is quite interesting. My new rig will have a small shower or better - wet bath - installed, but that looks really interesting to converse water. Great built you have put together.
Thank you. It feels so good to be able to shower for a decent amount of time on such a small amount of water. It works really well for us. 😊
Such a nice vibe to your videos Anthony!!! You are as good of a person as you were on our trials together !! Would be experiencing all your adventures through your videos
Thanks mate. Appreciate the comment. Hope you are well. 😊
I like your door blocking off the cab. I also have a front wall in a similar spot behind the seats, but can't block it off all the time as I have a large dog and I need her to be able to use the cab area for her bed space. Makes controlling the heat more difficult but I will just use window coverings instead. I am thinking of still putting the door in though so I can close it when we are driving, and as you say, it gives you more space to hang storage which you can never have too much of!
That's a great plan. What about a door with a doggy-door?
Love it ❤❤
I too am not having a built in shower. For me though it wasn't about preserving the view, but having more space for storage of other things that I need to run my handmade business. I will probably get an evershower too or make my own DIY version of one.
$16,000 is a crazy amount just for installation of your electrical. I paid $13,000 for my set up including all parts and labour for the electrician to install. I have 1300W solar, 300Ah of 24v lithium batteries, 240v cables and power points, DC/DC charger, the same cerbo gx monitoring system you have and all Victron gear. Cost me almost as much as the bus itself, but as you say it is so worth it to have quality gear and be able to be totally off grid.
The extra storage space from not having a full shower was an added bonus for sure :) Of the total cost of our build (not counting the Coaster itself), the electrical system was about half!
Enjoying your videos. We're just starting our bus build. Is the toilet an Ogo please?
A Cuddy 😊
What cruise control did you go with? We're shopping for one for our bus
Autostrada 😊
