About "Skoolsowt" (effectionately named Milly)
This is how we roll
Our Milly is an old school bus who did her time in the town of Young NSW
Now in her retirement her strip down & rebuild commenced June 2013 however we didn't really start getting into the build ourselves till January 2014. Since then we have worked most weekends on her & learning as we go, we know we have a long way to go but she is part of our family now & we love her. Currently she can carry 100 litres of fresh water & 80 litres of grey, the tanks are made of poly & the shower/toilet are made of PVC plastic that has been plastic welded together. The beds & the galley are made from furniture tubing & cladded with aluminium composite panel. We went for the split system air conditioning as our Honda 2kva will run it . Lots more to do & still keen as mustard on travel & motorhoming.

The Electrics
24 volt bus system and 12 volt house batteries (4x 100amp hr Gel) backed up by Honda 2kva & 240 volt outlet with internal powerpoints. We are aiming at having more than one solar panel as we prefer to go freedom camping as we travel.
About Bill & Tanya
Bill & Tanya - Working Hard at Home
Still being made to work however use our bus for weekends, holidays and long service leave & have been travelling since 1995. We started with an MG convertible and carried a tent, then onto a 4x4 with a shipshape roof tent then to a Isuzu truck with the Winnibago body. we have just sold our beloved Coaster & have updated now to our new bus which is a Hino.
We have many favorite camps however you will always find us on the Easter break at Sheba Dams near Nundle NSW, it's more of a pilgramige for us then a favorite camp site, come visit us at Easter & enjoy with us.
