Toyota Coaster Motorhome Conversion | FULL BUS TOUR (van tour)
Take a full tour of this stunning, practical and spacious DIY completely off-grid bus. Located in Australia - Georgia, Dom and family converted this 2000 model Toyota Coaster on their own at home. The build is complete with a queen bed, galley kitchen, dining room, lots of storage, off-grid REDARC power system with solar and more! The bus was originally 22 seats and can be driven on a car license if under 4.5t however this particular build is registered as a heavy vehicle to allow for more storage.
Follow along with Georgia and Dom as they travel a full lap of Australia in this build showing all the ups and downs of van life (or bus life) with weekly videos!

You missed the “handy” she said, by the fridge. You are super cute. A nice bus by the way 😊
Great van tour and he's so cute
Handy rig. Living the dream you two. :v
Love the artwork down the outside of your bus. It’s super groove. I am working towards this stress free lifestyle. To me it makes perfect sense. I think for me the only thing I’d do differently would be to build a cubby on the outside of the bus with an access door that is lockable and tamper proof. I definitely would build a built in safe for valuables and general documents and have that bolted in hard. These buses vans and tiny homes I believe it’s one way to solve the massive housing crisis that so many face today. Thank you for sharing..
Great build guys! I am so impressed that you have done this now, I was silly enough to wait until I retired. Go enjoy our country, she is beautiful.
What an amazing couple ! It was lovely meeting you both . I can see you guys have already found happiness , best of luck on your adventures. Remember all your challengers are just opportunities for new adventures.
VERY HANDY !
Handy dandy couple

never had any issues! We have had my hair straightener plugged in, tv on & oven running before with no problems! It’s awesome we love it
Subscribed first time cheers guys take care and have fun travelling. My campervan is a 1984 Nissan Urvan Diesel-camper 5-speed manual Column shift. White. I have just recently had my engine recondition plus fuel pump and brand-new Bosc starter motor installed. Nearly all completed not quite sure yet but I should have that back in a few days time but don't know exactly when just finishing a few things off that's all.

Looks great I guess you both don’t have a bathroom in the Bus that must be hard trying to find a public bathroom all the time

so far we haven’t had any issues! Most free camps have drop toilets & if we have to wait until morning when we can get to a town we will do that. We also have gym memberships which we use the bathrooms at often
❤️😊
Great video. You have more than double the space the average young couple have travelling Australia. Enjoy. We travel in a Toyota commuter, that is fully off grid. Would love to have your space. I have the same itechworld batteries x2. Awesome batteries. We found that 2 is not enough especially if you do not drive enough daily and the weather is cloudy. In winter your solar charging will go down about 40 to 50%. If you want to do mostly free camping , you might look at another 2 of the same batteries to double capacity. With induction and microwave, 100 amp (useable) is not much. My 2 cents. Enjoy your travels in this beautiful country of ours.

Thanks heaps! Yeah we are thinking one day we may need to add more batteries but hopefully this holds up for now!

Remember that if you want to upgrade, you need to add the exact saam batteries. I edited my post, 2 batteries is series (24 v) only have 100 amp usable.
Love the video! Did you buy this as a registered bus, as in full 22 seats etc? Did you then register it as being able to drive it on a C class license? Looking to do the same soon:) havent seen too much info on it so any info wouid be great thanks
was your inverter too big ?

It’s definitely overkill & not needed! But we love having the ability to run our air fryer or projector for outside movies etc. it’s a bit luxurious for vanlife but makes for more adventures & memories & extra comforts of home.
You missed two “handy’s”
Where u wash ur cloths

This is our own personal build for a coaster. We haven’t done any other builds I’m sorry! But if you search on KZread for a hiace conversion I’m sure you’ll find some beautiful ones!
How much did the whole thing cost
