As an American, I was expecting you to fix a hamburger or a hot dog for dinner. Love all the American license plates decorating the bus, especially the Indiana plate given I was born and raised in Indiana. I am loving this new series, Will. Now, you need to come to the US and take a class A coach out.
I always preferred these rounded Crown buses to the more boxy Blue Birds when I rode the bus to school in the 70's. My great aunt was even my bus driver for a year. Our school district numbered the buses making it easy to know how old it was (6-71 was bus #6 built in 1971.) Not sure if they altered things in the conversion, but the double doors in the back was for a (relatively) small boot. Not sure about that swing-out arm on the front, later years had a flip-out stop sign on the rear side that extended when the flashing red lights were activated. Our rules were the lights had to be activated whenever passengers were getting on or off the bus, even when parked at the school and they parked about 6 inches from the bus in front so that arm wouldn't work. The drop-down side windows had a tendency to go crooked if you didn't latch both sides perfectly. Lots of memories of these buses.
So that stop button in the back is actually a button to stop the startup/shutdown alarm, makes the driver walk to the back to make sure all the children are accounted for
When you were trying to drive it for the first time with the owner watching right behind you, I could feel the stress through my screen. It's like learning to drive with your dad all over again, except way more difficult
I moved to the US when I was 5 and grew up being picked up from my street near home and dropped off after school. I also remember seeing this at vanlife festival at Stratford-Upon-Avon 2022!
Omg. Even though i haven't watched you for a decently long amount of time, I first watched you when you started the 'living in Nepal' series when you had around 5k subs. It's so good to see you crossing 200k subs. Keep grinding will!
That’s a true home on wheels. It’s a dream. I have probably a similar solar system with 4 leisure batteries. A worry to drive arround if it’s not yours.
@@claudiakarl2702 You're right the driver would have to stick to bus routes, It amazes me how well London bus drivers manage tight turns on the old streets.
Will, you did it again, another entertaining surprising a-class video and I'm probably right in assuming you must be the first person ever in the UK to review a converted american school bus. Can't wait for the follow up video on this video...
@@simonsmithson2566 that is a very nice setup! You really made good use of the space. Driving that on the narrow British roads has to be bad enough but with American style steering that really must come with some challenges!
What a legend Simon is, and a great sport to boot. Great vid Will and after sitting in this at a couple of shows just know it's as good as you made it out to be. Epic. Great vid mate.
Funny, we were so close together at, what I presume is, the same time. I was near where you are on Friday - Saturday. I don’t think I saw you unfortunately.
Love last week in VW bus, but this week was a hoot. Didn’t know how hard it was to drive a school bus. That’s a long school bus . I’m American and never saw one that long. Will thanks for this series. I’ll enjoy being back in your beautiful van too Cheer from NY
Hi Will, you did a really good job trying to drive that bus, I think my left leg would have given up, that’s a lovely bus, so nicely done up, basically just a lovely home on wheels, the older vehicles have character and American as well, all the better, I bet that gets some looks in the uk. Great video Will, I think these types of videos are good for you Will, your getting to meet people which you like, and different vehicles every time, which is what we like. Keep them coming. All the best and thank you. Xxxx
Yet another fab video mate! To be honest, I had my feet clutching/breaking/accelerating alongside you while you drove the 10 meter long bus. Hope no curb was harmed during the filming 🤣✌️
In 1998 I passed my bus test and drove coaches, mini buses and double deckers. The Deckers used to terrify me to drive but they were great fun on a skid pan. I did a full 180 rear wheel skid on a wet surface, it was one of the most scary yet exhilerating things I've ever done.........
Binged watch all your vlogs all weekend. Seen your ups, downs and mishaps. Love how you keep your constant raw and not all this fake malarkey. Going from your van to trying others, not only funny at times but can relate to as I would probably match you for mishaps and I am way older and still haven’t learnt 😂. I did want to do a double decker bus up but seeing the length of this bus and you driving it, but it in reality for me that no a bus isn’t for me and go smaller. Thanks for your reviews and look forward to the next. Better go and smash all the like button now 😂
Really funny as I was watching a vlog on an American staying overnight in a school bus in USA this afternoon and thought that would be good for you. This one was in much better condition👍🏼😆🚌
Rotherham is my neck of the woods. What a beast I’d love that but not in this country our roads are just not made for something like that. Roll on next week wonder what it will be🤔
I absolutely love watching you Will You make my day buddy You make me laugh so much I have so much fun watching Thanks for always sharing your whereabouts I'm lost when you don't. Mucho Love From Your Friend In Michigan Tam 💜💜
Only watched a couple of your vids as they popped up randomly and I'm glad they did ! Who knew I'd be so interested in a portaloo on wheels I can sleep in 😂 great work keep it up !
Another epic video! Those gears and clutch looked like they would need some practice to get the knack (and the steering too). Make you appreciate the Ducato doesn’t it 😂 That bar which swung out at the front looks cool - well the whole thing was. All the best, David & Rachel 👍
My fiancé and I were very excited that you were on the industrial estate where we work! I’m on maternity leave so didn’t see you but he did, and he spotted his car in the video 😂
Hi Will, This was a great video and I love that bus. My suggestion for a video with you staying on a boat overnight that of course has cooking and sleeping quarters. I think you should do tours of the units you are going to stay in first because it gives your viewers an idea of what you are working with and not leave it up to our imaginations" such as... what is this what is that, how does this work how does that work?! Once again, I truly enjoyed your video. keep up the good work. Cheers from Dolly in Ontario Canada
I used to go to a middle school here in California with a bus exactly like this sitting right outside I haven't seen it in the past year or two, but I bet this might be the one.
Enjoyed this a lot mate. I like the suggestion of an old school horse drawn gypsy caravan too. Also there are things called shepherd's huts which were on wheels and horse drawn, so the shepherd could move around with his flock. Both are difficult to find unless they're static and you rent them on glamping sites I think though.

@@WillsWhereabouts @Becky F as an American AND a fellow from Indiana (a Hoosier); How about a tenderloin? They're pretty good!
Every state has it's own traditional food. Curly fries had me salivating. Of course being Canadian I'd have to have some gravy on those 🤭

The bus is FOR SALE if anyone is interested ❤️
Will is literally the only youtuber that consistently levels up with every video! What a legend! 👏🏻

@@WillsWhereabouts love your chanel 🔥💕💕
Thanks so much.
That’s a true home on wheels.
It’s a dream.
I have probably a similar solar system with 4 leisure batteries.
A worry to drive arround if it’s not yours.
He did a really good job of outfitting that bus. I like my bacon crispy as well.
It’s awesome isn’t it!
Great convertion. What a treat you had. She is a beauty.
I think he did very well driving the bus. It would be a great way to travel across Europe. It has so much space for storage.
But he would have trouble in smaller European towns
@@claudiakarl2702 You're right the driver would have to stick to bus routes, It amazes me how well London bus drivers manage tight turns on the old streets.
Once again you have outdone your self. these videos have come leaps and bounds...
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying them 😄
simons a legend and such a nice guy , great to see you in this bus man .

Now this is what I'm talking about camping. My dream is a mini single/double decker bus conversion. A home away from home.
They are brilliant homes on wheels!
@@WillsWhereabouts And no matter where you are, you will always be home :)
Simon and Alison are a lovely couple, thanks for sharing.❤
They’re great
17:30 That's definitely what you need in the bedroom: a button that says "I need to get off!" 😍
😂😂
Will, you did it again, another entertaining surprising a-class video and I'm probably right in assuming you must be the first person ever in the UK to review a converted american school bus. Can't wait for the follow up video on this video...
Thanks mate 😁
Saw the thumbnail for this and thought NO WAY would someone let you drive this Will 😂 That owner had some faith 🙏 Cracking vid yet again mate.
I was ok with will driving with me with him and he did ok for his first try
Similar thought as well .... its looks hard to drive ... on a left hand drive bus on the UK road ....
@@simonsmithson2566 that is a very nice setup! You really made good use of the space. Driving that on the narrow British roads has to be bad enough but with American style steering that really must come with some challenges!
Watch will,s next video and there be more driving on UK roads
Especially without a licence!
That bus is truly nice,I wouldn't want to be driving it, no automatic transmission.👌👍
Neither would I hah
Been excited to see your video today mate. I always know it will be a belter. It didn’t disappoint mate
Glad you enjoyed it 🤙🏼
@@WillsWhereabouts your meals have gone shit tho will lol. Step up your meal game
Get that Bus out Butler! 😀
The front rail extender is so the driver can see children as they are forced to walk out into eye site.
Great video! When I thought I had seen it all, you come up with something else more outlandish. You are so funny. Look forward to your next.
Thanks for watching, glad you’re enjoying the videos 😊
Now that's a luxury camper. Like you, i wouldn't fancy driving that around country roads, but what a beast of a bus. Great work again, Will. Yum Yum.
Yeah, not ideal for those country bends!
I have always wanted to turn a bus into a camper I still do. It looks like fun
What a legend Simon is, and a great sport to boot. Great vid Will and after sitting in this at a couple of shows just know it's as good as you made it out to be. Epic. Great vid mate.
Thanks Rich hope to see you soon
another great watch will and a cracking house on wheels that was, it looked minted!!!!
It was bloody incredible!
Wow I love America what a amazing bus beautiful great home on wheels best space realy would be lovely to be in on holiday ❤❤❤❤
Funny, we were so close together at, what I presume is, the same time. I was near where you are on Friday - Saturday. I don’t think I saw you unfortunately.
These videos are now next level. Awesome work Will, loving this format & its really unique. Hope you're channel grows as you definitely deserve it 👏👏👏
Appreciate it mate. Thanks for watching!
A 10 meter camper bus must feel fantastic with all the space and normal size fridge etc...
It is super comfortable, ideal having everything you need!
Been a good series
Love last week in VW bus, but this week was a hoot. Didn’t know how hard it was to drive a school bus. That’s a long school bus . I’m American and never saw one that long. Will thanks for this series. I’ll enjoy being back in your beautiful van too Cheer from NY
It was massive!
Love the style of music you choose for videos.
Well done , 5 minutes in it's like a real learner driver on a lesson! A lesson in a car is bad enough!

Why not try a double decker coach sleeper ask vans for bands in Oxfordshire or load out express in Nottinghamshire. They have buses with 16 beds
Absolutely loving the change of direction. This series has been brilliant 👏 looking forward to seeing how your vans getting along too. More vw stuff 😉
Thanks mate, appreciate it ❤
LOL! An American Skoolie in the UK!!! Hilarious! I can't wait to watch the video!
What an awesome vehicle! I saw one of these near where i work in Uckfield seems theres a new trend in the uk 😂
Really 😂
What a great video!. Really feel this change in direction for your videos is working so well. Really enjoying it. 😊
Thanks 🫶 appreciate your support!
Wow, you're brave! I wouldn't even attempt to drive that. 😃
😂😂
Great Will..thanks you never disappoint 👍
Thanks Kim 😊
I saw a converted one in Torquay yesterday on the seafront.
Love it!
Cheers to the owner and to Ben, again always informative and entertaining 😂 x

Ohhh yes 🚍
Wow really awesome bus/camper. but as long as u had fun nothing else matters cheers mate.
Exactly, cheers mate
Love this bus. Great that you tried to do American, well done 👏. Yo uforgot German last week.a super video as usua
It was great fun for sure
Great video as always! Funny how you made the most simple meal being in probably the biggest kitchen I’ve ever seen you in 😂😂
I know, what a waste 😂
Brilliant bit of kit will best one yet , love the channel buddy 🤪👌👍
Cheers mate 🫶
Fantastic🎉🎉 would love to see you take out a Bedford Commer camper 😅 My parents had one when we were kids 😂😂😂😂
That would be awesome
Absolutely amazing 👍👍
That was a great video, must be quite tricky to try and drive that beast!! look forward to the next one Will..
It was a challenge for sure!
WOOOOOHOOOOO ... BUS TOUR !!!
🥳
@@WillsWhereabouts cant wait for your Wednesday video on the bus. Woooohoooo.
Really funny as I was watching a vlog on an American staying overnight in a school bus in USA this afternoon and thought that would be good for you. This one was in much better condition👍🏼😆🚌
😂❤
There is only one thing that comes to mind for that bacon enthusiastically crisp😂😂😂😂
😂😂 I agree
Rotherham is my neck of the woods. What a beast I’d love that but not in this country our roads are just not made for something like that. Roll on next week wonder what it will be🤔
Stay tuned 🤙

It’s brilliant!
I like this new style video’s 🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊
Thank you!
Only watched a couple of your vids as they popped up randomly and I'm glad they did ! Who knew I'd be so interested in a portaloo on wheels I can sleep in 😂 great work keep it up !
Soooo loving these vids will! What a beauty it is… my fav so far I think! I could live in that! 😂❤
Thanks Sarah
Wow what a beast. Looks absolutely luxurious inside. Not sure I’d want to fill the tank with ‘gas’. Wonder how many miles to the gallon it does.
I think it does around 10mpg so of course an expensive vehicle to run
@@WillsWhereabouts ouch, bit juicy.
Mate your face when you're driving difficult stuff 😂😂 I could quite easily see you driving random different big vehicles each week!! 💪
Maybe a new series 😂
Top vid, Top bloke! What a channel will watched you since stealth camping! Keep up the content bro 🤘🏻
Thanks mate, appreciate it
Thanks for doing the video will. You smashed it. ❤
Thank you for trusting me! What an experience 😄
Now this is like The Long Long Trailer 😆 Fabulous movie. Great fun thanks.
Thanks 😁
I ❤LOOOVED❤ IT.
THIS IS SOOO COOOL.
WISH I COULD MADE MYSELF 1.
What's funny is the fridge looks to be the same year as the bus 😂
Spot on with the bacon, thats how I like it.
It could have been worse with a bus load of kids with bubblegum 😮
Once again another cool video dude !
Cheers mate .
The original seats did have bubblegum stuck underneath them 😁🤣
Thanks!
Wow fantastic. Would love to have seen all the Nik naks he had around the place. Great job will.
Interview with Simon and more on the bus on Wednesday! 😊 thanks for watching
If available in the U.K., try a large dually truck pulling a 5th wheel.
Another epic video! Those gears and clutch looked like they would need some practice to get the knack (and the steering too). Make you appreciate the Ducato doesn’t it 😂
That bar which swung out at the front looks cool - well the whole thing was.
All the best, David & Rachel 👍
Definitely appreciate my Mary!
Yea mate do it be awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
You cook the bacon perfectly nothing's wrong with it I'd love to make you breakfast I cook the bacon the same way
Would like to see you do a Kei-camper or a Bambi xx
Know anyone who’s got one?!
@@WillsWhereabouts no, sorry, but good luck with whatever you drive, sleep in, fold up or live in next.
Great video. I would love to have a drive of that bus!
😊😊
Burnt bacon all the way! You didn't even burn it. 🥓 Hi from Atlanta, GA, USA 🇺🇲! We love your channel. Been watching quite a while.

We call them a schoolie😊
Reminded me of Dirty Harry Movie straight away! 😁
My fiancé and I were very excited that you were on the industrial estate where we work! I’m on maternity leave so didn’t see you but he did, and he spotted his car in the video 😂
