The only thing stopping us from hitting the road right now is money. We’ve spent a few days figuring out what we’ll need to achieve the conversion we want.
- Driver training/test/licence – £2000
- Purchase of a coach – £4000-6000
- Solar panels and leisure batteries – £700
- Kitchen appliances (gas, not new) – £250
- Internal fixtures and fittings -£2000
- Gas bottles and water tanks -£300
- Misc – £500
We plan to do the conversion ourselves, so there will be no labour costs to pay.
The above list is also the order of purchase, as it seems to be the most logical way to us. It goes without saying that I will need my driving licence before I can buy the coach.
We also need to build an emergency fund of at least £1000, given that a new tyre alone will cost us about £500 should we need one. In an ideal world this fund will be as large as possible and not touched unless we absolutely need it.
