We still have the bus

Many of you know we have put our bus/motor-home up for sale. A guy flew from South Australia to Perth in Western Australia to look at the bus. As he was flying so far to see it, we were hopeful that he would buy it but I don't think that is going to happen.
He thought there would be more storage space in the lockers underneath the bus but, being an older vehicle, there isn't the same room as some of the more modern coaches. We drove to Perth and back (2 ½ hours each way) to pick him up then took him back to the airport next day. He was a nice guy and we enjoyed chatting to him.
He is probably as disappointed as we are. The upside is that we can now take the bus to Fairbridge Music Festival on Friday. On this occasion it will be more convenient than taking the caravan (camping trailer). There are no powered sites at Fairbridge and nowhere for waste water to run. The bus has a 'grey water' tank and an extra cartridge for the toilet, both of which we'll appreciate over the weekend.

Bummer it did not work out, good luck on your sale. At least the man was nice and you all had a nice chit chat.

I'm sure there'll be other buyers who would be interested to get it.

@JudyEv It would have been nice if he had bought the Bus/motor home. Nice interior..

@JudyEv Beautiful. The person"who would have been the buyer" is missing all this because the storage space is not enough?

You share quite a few stories about your adventures in the bus, so it's going to be sad to see it go. Are you going to get a new one, or are you just going to use the caravan once you sell the bus?

@JudyEv Sounds like you have it all figured out! I hope it all works out for you, and that you find a buyer for your bus!

@moffittjc Thanks. It would be nice if it sold before we headed for Ireland. Otherwise it sits idle till September.

We'll just use the caravan. We'll be able to unhitch the caravan and go poking around 4WD tracks and dirt tracks if we want to. We weren't able to do that in the bus and some of the best spots in Australia are 'off the beaten track' as they say and inaccessible in the bus.

Wow, that is a lot of traveling on both of your parts and disappointing that there was no sale from it.
May I suggest putting a for sale sign in the window when you take it to the festival.
That way you may get interested buyers that can look at it straight away and not have to travel. :)

Looks really nice is that the one in the photo?
I think that you will find someone who will like it and just buy it when you least expect it.
Enjoy the Festival.

You could perhaps take some detailed photographers and mail them to whoever has interest. Someone somewhere will get your bus. Just wait and watch (lol)

One last bash on the bus! Seriously, too bad he didn't buy it.

I dream that I could own one of these live in bus/ camping trailer here but I haven't seen anyone offering it for sale. It must be so useful to have. You said that your bus was an older version...but the inside looks so neat and new. If it were in my country I'll probably give you the sale. Would it be inappropriate to ask what is your selling price (you can always message me if you don't want to put it here)? The model of vehicle and age? Thank you
Hope you do get it sold. Good luck.

@Gita17112016 I guess it would be around $US45,000. Not sure what it is in Euros.

@JudyEv That is a good bit of years...although, again, I am impressed with the inside. The would be $45,000 US or Euro? I have to do a quick calculation in my head before it makes sense, you see.

It's not 'little'. Shame on you! 
Any bus with a washing machine isn't 'little'. Tut tut.

It is wonderful to have one when you want it! It looks nicer than the homes some live in, doesn't it?

It certainly does. I reckon I could live in it for ages especially if we were travelling around.

The bus really looks cool. May be someone else might drop down to buy it. Who knows when you take it Fairbridge Music Festival, you might accidentally find a buyer. Right?
