Hi there, If you live fulltime in a coach or bus I'd love to hear from you. I lived in my motorhome until October last year (when it was stolen  ) and am now brave enough to go on the road again. This time I'm looking for a bigger wagon and I'd like to know how people find it living in a bus/coach? Parking/security/overnight stops/general problems on the road...or with people? Please share your experiences...it's nice to know I'm not a lone fulltimer! Hannah |

Ah hello, It's yourself from the PDA website  The main problem of full time living is getting a park up, if you have been living in a motorhome you probably know better than me. I would love to full time but can't find anywhere to park up. I just use dragon bus for trips away. You can usually find somewhere for a couple of days, but if you stick around too long the natives get restless. Up round Scotland in October its the end of the "tourist" season so all of the camp sites are shut and the council tend to turn a blind eye to overnighting in car parks. It does help when you are in a full size bus though as you can use the coach and lorry parks. They can't very well chuck you out when there are half a dozen lorries parked next to you with drivers sleeping in their cabs. |

Full time living in a bus is a lot of hassle. We were always in the situation where somone could look after the bus all day long. Back a few years ago it used to be a lot worse with local authorities and farmers with baliffs. These days a quiet lane or lay-by are pretty easy to get away with. When I was in secondary school we didn't get any hassle because everyone knew we only stayed at a site for 4 weeks then we were off again. It also helps if you clean the place up when you leave. My parents always made quite a big thing of cleaning the area of rubbish first. Anoher thing to do is make your vehicle look really nice and tidy, it shows your organised and care. We also have a wind generator which loads of people like to stop and talk about, when we lived on the ridgeway in Oxfordshire.
