Hi All,
This weekend my Father-in-law got my to take some shots of his bus, I thought I would share a few. I'm probably not that worried about C&C (or not to a big extent) just thought I'd share the bus, as its a great design. My FIL had it built to his specs, for his retirement and it's his pride and joy.

The Bus from the drivers side

The Front, FIL surname is Taylor hence the 'Taylor Made'

curley and I are very interested in any other shots that you may have. Your father in-law must be very proud of his creation LOZ

He is very proud of it, sadly he's actually considering selling it, to get something smaller. It was built and designed for two, and he's now on his own, so he could be more comfortable in something smaller.

The Kitchen

More of the Kitchen

The bathroom. Included washing machine and dryer.

Reverse Angle of Bedroom, heaps of storage space, including under the beds.

Looks like a very cosy bus.

What is the fuel economy like?

Not 100% sure, I believe he gets 2000km from a tank, I think its about 3km per litre. (I'm not a car / bus person so I could have it all wrong).

With loads of boomers on the retirement road - i.e. round Australia trek, I don't think FIL will have much trouble selling it.

Nice shots of a very cool bus. All it needs is some flame work on the front, painted black and alloy wheels. Pimp my bus!!
