- I made an RV out of a double decker bus. How I did that, you can see in this video: • From double decker bus...
The end result of that labour you can see in the Full Interior Tour we made of the double decker RV: • Double decker RV - ful...
I got a lot of questions about the bus, so I made a FAQ on my website. Read it here: sites.google.c...
This year we went on vacation to Austria. It took four days to get there. This is the story of this trip.
These videos about the bus are a bit out of line with what the rest of my videos in this channel will be, but for me it all started with this bus conversion. To get to know this channel better, watch my first video here, the one of the lamp ( • A wooden LED hanging l... ).

Can't help but to notice, your bus is always stands out looking the best in most of the RV park you've been so far! Keep those videos coming in!
surprising how much a bold new paint job does to impress people, it's a very simple thing and cheap (compared to heavy external modification) so yes, a nice simple and bold paint job can make it look presentable and attractive
This is you first video that gives a complete walk-through tour and proper understanding of the layout of your bus. I watched the "making-of 20 Steps" video and the "Full interior Tour" but neither of them had a continuous walk through. It was rather confusing. This was perfect. I think if you did a cut from 4:30 to 6:25 and posted it as a separate video it would help people a lot. Adding a tour of the rear - what I presume is the infrastructure room would be nice too. This one gave a great feel for being in it.
The 20 steps video has a walk through... I guess you missed that. I'm working on a video of the technical aspects of the bus, and there will be a lot of footage of the room in the back of the bus...
I must say, you have an amazing RV! Being an American it's always fascinating to see double decker vehicles due to them being scarce here besides in big cities (i.e. New York, Los Angeles). Hope you guys have fun on the road!
This is soooo cool! I decided to turn my bus into a bar instead. Might do an RV in the future. Good work
Nice clip! Nice bus. I drove a Routemaster once, long ago. But I saw you starting it with some turning knob or key, but in my memory I started it with pulling a lever down. It was on the left, above the driver. Nice bar too! I particular like the sliding open roof. (I was wondering how you shot the part where the cam is on the roof and the answer came right after.. :-)
Do you know how high your bus is in meters? And the standing height on upper and lower deck? (Just wondering - not that important.. ;-)
hahah yeah you're not the first to ask that question! My mate (who filmed) is pretty crazy but not THAT crazy! Also "Onrus" Dat lijkt op Nederlands?
Dat is het ook... 😃
Ha mooi, nog en Nederlander met een bus!
Je zag er op je website anders erg Brits uit... Er zijn nog wel meer Nederlanders met een bus, ik heb er zeven laten zien in een video op dit kanaal... En het weekend van de 24e komen er weer een paar bij elkaar in Nunspeet...
That has to be the most awesome and reassuring dentist's company sign.
This is truly a dream RV, if i had money i would definitely do the same! Man can dream..
What a wonderful trip you had (except for the root canal). I've been a professional driver for over 20 years but would not be comfortable maneuvering such a large vehicle on European roads. You handled it like a pro.
Bryant Ford why not?
Bryant Ford nae! This is 8 star hotel! On the go, practicle, smart looking and it looks comfortable as heck!
Bryant Ford the bus In the video has rear wheels that can turn. Still, driving a bus in the streets of Europe is quite a feat though
European roads are built for gig vehicles...
I think from an American point of view they are small..lol
But everything in the U.Sis Huge
Especially the traffic jams during rush hour
in case anyone is wondering, Fuel consumption works out to 40 l/100km (5,88 mpg) and around 1200 € of Diesel for the entire trip. That's definitely respectable !
dacht je een gastank had
40l/100km is nogal aan de hoge kant is het niet? Dat verbruik verwacht ik meer bij een trekker met volgeladen trailer.
kein trecker sondern bus
was ich sagte ist das ich so ein vebrauch eher bei ein trekker mit volgeladen trailer erwarte,
und nicht bei ein leichten bus ,weil was wirt so ein bus an gewicht haben? 10-15 tonnen?
Dan ist wohl schluss, und ein volbeladen trekker mit trailer geht schon richtung 30-50 tonnen,
also deshalb finde ich den verbrauch wohl sehr hoch.
+3DPeter achso
You, sir, have a wonderful sense of humor.
I cherish your honesty and dream of traveling with a home that brings you and family to appreciate this beautiful world.
May God bless all your journeys!
Put a solar panels on top of the bus that will help :)
I was about to comment the exact same thing!
Second that motion. Many skoolies in the states think of solar panels first
Lol. Like there is ever any sun in holland.
You must have one of the tallest vehicles on the road, even at those bus meets. That's a great view if somebody is upstairs while travelling! That's really cool! Great job! :)
Grüße aus Russland! Vielen Dank für das Video und die Untertitel auf Russisch. Dank Ihnen werde ich morgen einen Volvo B 10 M kaufen, ebenfalls 2 Etagen. Friede und Güte für alle!
Wenn es um ein Doppeldecker geht, kannst du wenn du willst dich anmelden bei der Facebookgruppe für Eigentümer von Doppeldecker, facebook.com/groups/DDRVs . Viel Erfolg mit den Volvo! (Für die Untertitel ist Alexey aus Ukraine verantwortlich, ich werde die danke überbringen.) 😊👍🏻
Awww...your funny...love your sense of humor..At the beginning I thought you was going to crash somewhere in the village, no it was smoke, billowing out at the back of the bus! Thank goodness it wasn't anything worse! Also, thank you for sharing your holiday adventures and the laughs, with a bunch of strangers around the World. Cheers .
You are like the only youtuber in whiches videos i dont care if they just write down the text and not speak....
Nice video, your bus is beautifull!
6:15 - I'd love to be a passenger in that bus! You couldn't pay me to drive it, I get super anxious just driving my little hatchback lol but wow! I'd pay to watch the scenery through that top front window!
Yes the top front seats are the most populair ones.. I don't know if you're interested, but you can -sort of- travel there with us. I made recordings up there and the footage of that is in my other channel: th-cam.com/play/PLS89arGnLSJohNbrt34qENo3mreUUhazN.html Happy holidays!
I will definitely check it out, thank you!
4:50 there’s where you see a true teenager: hides and closes the phone as soon as dad comes
Looks like a good time😀 travelling in style like a sultan
Bill Burr Are you the real Burr?
Better bus than many people have a house!!!!!
Love it :)
One day come to Portugal but plan your route due to small roads on small villages. Use only National Roads, inside smaller villages you may get surprises.
My tips:
Costa Vicentina, a lot of Nature and Sea. Cheap restaurants with the best fish and seafood in Europe.
At South check: Porto Côvo, Odeceixe, Sines while the FMM (World Music Festival in August) to Lagos (already Algarve). This Costa Vicentina as many German, Dutch and French campers and many safe-places where you can find parking next to the beach, shade, food, etc...
North: Gerês and Serra da Estrela, both at North be careful, a lot of trick roads
Many kilometres of fun :)
Thank you! I'll keep it in mind. I'm afraid Portugal is a bit far when you have only so much days vacation. But I sure like your suggestions!
Contact other RV owners and campers and ask about Portugal. If You stop to rest or sleep You are here in 34-36 hours (from Holland)
Reason to come:
-Its the lowest crime-rate in Europe
-a lot of Sun
-fuel almost the same price as in Netherlands-Germany (cheaper in Spain)
-FOOD...I teell you...I've been in Europe living (like Netherlands 4 years) and Portuguese food is just another level. Not about "fancy"...just the ingredients and the simplicity!
-our dental-care is meaby one of Europe's cheapest
-its easier to find a Portuguese speaking good English that a Spanish or Italian
-you have "pockets" of tourist-resorts where you feel that you are not in Europe. Just see English, German, French...meaby 10-20% Portuguese people. This "pockets" or clusters are usually in Algarve
-with good-tips and good planning I assure you a cheap and pleasant staying. Ask other people that come here, look in internet-social-media for groups and tips.
The reason I gave You the "Costa Vicentina" (from Setúbal to Lagos) tip was because I love that part of Portugal and there are many foreigners that come in RV that do it for all those reason I told you, its very easy to drive there and you get 250-300 kilometres of Peace, Nature, less problems, less traffic, etc...
I dont have RV, just interested and see many things about RV and conversions over the last 2 years.
Comparing with all I saw over this from, from USA to China, your project apart from big is very well done, a perfect house on weals :D
From toilet to kitchen, all you need with all details. Just amazing!!
Well...just keep on rolling :)
From Portugal, Luis
From my home town it's 2400 km.. I can do 600 / day. That would already take 4 days to get there.. Nevertheless, thank you for your comment. (And I very well remember the Portuguese food, for I once was on Madeira.. :-)
Onrust! My whole family are from Madeira 🇵🇹. Me & my children & my parents live in te UK 🇬🇧, but Madeira 🇵🇹 is the only place I feel truly at home, it's also great to see my cousins, aunties & uncles when I'm there too. I've always wanted to convert a double decker bus & live on it. Your bus 🚌 is amazingly beautiful. Well done. 👍🏽👍🏽
Nice to hear - half of my relatives are in Austria, so I know the feeling. I feel half Austrian, and you sometimes wind up feeling torn between the two countries. I loved Madeira too. I was fortunate to walk many of the Levadas. Some were VERY scary.. but what beautiful views, sometimes! Nice memories..
6:00 you have a BIG camper when the kids can bring those toys
There is nothing that goes unnoticed by you...! 😆😆😆
I have seen many race-car drivers but this is the first time that I have seen a race-bus driver.😁 Great video.
That top part in the front of the bus is amazing
can we have a VLOG kind of format for your trips? That would be wonderful and very kind of you. A road trip from Germany to Austria in several parts, as a VLOG would be awesome. This is a very good video, but feels like a teaser of a detailed VLOG..!
I thought to have answered that question already... I couldn't make the video's that I wanted to make, because of a tooth infection. There won't be a vlog, because this is all I have. We even might have traveled more if it wasn't for that infection...
I always come back to see the bus
yes ,what a wonderful bus , it is fun , it is stylish, yet it can can be be enjoyed with the whole family,wonderful !
Looks like a great vacation. I could live very comfortably in your RV.
"Again the best".. Fantastic video..I like how your bus looks in tip top condition all the time..The exterior looks great as its travelling down the road & those large front exterior Windows & large wrap around windscreen is the best idea I've ever seen.. No obscured views.. Is the best.. You obviously sat down & really prepared a detailed plan for this bus motorhome.. It's absolutely fabulous ..Cheer's..
Wow. You all have a fantastic trip. Next project is to move the driver's controls to the upper deck. Wouldn't that be great for taking in the amazing scenery on your journey. Love the bus. You created the perfect family RV. Bravo.
Funny thought. It would take the driver dangerously far away from the road, and he'd lose oversight. But yeah, the view is stunning. What I do is put up a action cam up there and afterwards look at the footage.. Lots of those recordings are in my other channel: th-cam.com/play/PLS89arGnLSJohNbrt34qENo3mreUUhazN.html
@@Onrust1 That driving position is pure fantasy...... for now. We are on our way to autonomous transportation. The dash upstairs could be three monitors showing the forward facing llower left, right, and center. A much better point of view than the current drivers seat has. An autonomous upgrade would have all the safety features and the 360 camera system like my S600. It has this really awesome virtual sky view. As if there is a drone shooting live video and feeding it into the display. That would come in handy when parking this beautiful rig.
Cheers from Seattle!!
Congratulations on your trip. One day you should bring your rig to the US - you would LOVE driving it here!!!
Ik heb net de build video gezien. Heel mooi, maar deze is fantastisch met dat natuurlijke rommelige vakantie interieur. Goed gedaan.
You did such a good job on this bus, outstanding.
What a terrific way to travel. I’m amazed at the editing and musical scoring of your videos ... very well done... almost professional. I love how you include Laurel & Hardy clips. Fabulous touch. LOL.... Thanks for showing us what a lived in bus looks like with your family in it. Dang!.... I got hungry after seeing all that food.
love to watch your video. I feel that i was traveling too with you and explore the road. And the Neoplan Bus was incredibly strong to make it from Germany to Austria and go back again.
Great Video and very good Job whit your Double Decker. Awesome.
Geweldig die bij op de camera lens, lol! Leuk ook die dikke & dunne shots tussendoor. Mooie vakantie hoor voor weinig geld, top! Groetjes, Lenneke
Europe is so classy
Very very great work !!! This is absolute genius !!! Iam ver interested about doing things by hand and yourself, and i seen a much things, but your project is absolutely over the top- thanks for sharing this
I love your camper house and this beuti video.
Love that bus, Wichita I could have one in America.
Your rv stands out so easily
That thing is paying for itself!
i woud love to be able to live like this.such freedom.
Heel vet. Lijkt me heerlijk om zo te reizen.
The interior layout is consistent with my dreams of owning a tour bus such as this, with the exception, of course, I'd have to have a bidet (as did the late Michael Jackson about his) in the bathroom. Close quarters would demand such an addition for personal hygiene since often we're not as "fresh" as we would like to believe. Other than that, I love this honey!
since I saw your Video about the conversion to RV, I'm dreaming of Building my own double decker RV bus. I'm daydreaming since... thank you for inspiring me! Maybe one day we shall meet and I can give you a tour through my bus. Hopefully. Greetings from Austria (Tyrol)
Lese mit auf www.wohnbuss.eu! Es gibt viele Österreicher mit denselben Traum! Ein Tour durch deinen Bus.... es wurde mir eine Ehre sein.. :-) Servus, Ron.
I luv to see your bus work well... And i always dreaming to have 1 bus like u...
Thanks for sharing! - Big vehicles are so easy to spot on crowded car parks. You should put a flashing beacon on top to make airplanes aware that there is a high-above-ground obstacle. And the TH-cam sticker on the front is a good idea - perhaps a QR code on the rooftop for satellite imagery? ;')
Ha ha.. well you wouldn't believe it, but the sticker serves a purpose... Last year there were frequently people who wanted to take a look inside. This year... nobody. One German lady came up to me and said 'I've just taken a look inside your RV - very nice', and she walked on. She looked it up in her own RV, on the internet, because of the sticker. And she didn't bother to see it in real life... lol..
Love the bus. Love the Laurel and Hardy, my idols. Great job!
You sir are one amazing, awesome and a MacGyver type of guy. Bless you and your achy breaky tooth. Overall am sure it was a great trip. Love your family and Tim the toolman Taylor types of vids!
Keep up the creative job. I know that it ain’t easy as it seems but your video logs are just breathtakingly beautiful. :)
Thanks , great video.. Love to see the countryside.
OMG the food so delicious
Looks like you visited the “Stubenberg See” and drove through Kaindorf bei Hartberg ! This area is called Apfelland in the eastern part of Styria ! Great Video, toothache sucks !
Des host guat gsehn! Meine Verwandte wohnen in der Nähe von Maria Fieberbründl. Des kennst dann vielleicht eh a.. ? 😊
Nice video. I love your sticker. I want one but smaller. Hahahaha.
Epic triangle solo
Wooooow deze bus is super mooi en knap gemaakt
I love your posts the trips that you do with your family a great great thanks from Australia
Oh man, your RV is so Beautiful 😍 I live in Dresden, Saxony so you were near me
Be careful with leaking oil onto the tires or brakes.. that is when it will catch fire. So have heat shield coat or adequate length gloves to get in by the tires and direct the nozzle. I was on a bus once that caught fire this way.. luckily that was all. Also, multiple tiny extinguishers should be littered around the RV.
SOEST 🙋🏼♂️
Favorit place to eat a good Burger 🍔♥️
Great video, thanks for posting 👍. I love this bus!
Great video, keep it up! You make it entertaining to see your road trip, as in really entertaining!
i love your bus
Nice family you got there.
Happy Winter Holidays, sir!
Thank you, wish you the best for winter too!
Love that bus!!! You're genius Sir!
BEST LOOKING RV! CONGRATS
Love your buss 👍👍
Great video! Loved it, I watched it 45 times
I'd love to know how your English is so good. As an Englishman, our language studies are awful. I quite liked doing German when I was at school many, many years ago. I'm thinking of selling my house to take on a project like this. I'm currently working for a bank and well I can make a hell of a lot more money going back into haulage driving a lorry, I've got a class 2 HGV licence at the moment and I'm thinking of getting my C+E to get even more cash to get my bus (when I get one) to your level. Thank you for inspiring me Onrust.
We have it a bit easier: on tv and on the radio we hear a lot of English. Then I got it in school, and I worked in English (I'm a journalist - from the beginning I had to do interviews in English... you learn fast that way).
Wish you lots of luck, and I'm glad to be an inspiration.
Solltet ihr nach Graz kommen, könnt ihr vom Hilmteich aus durch den Leechwald über einen geschotterten Waldweg, zu Fuß oder mit dem Rad, zum "Häuserl im Wald" gehen/fahren. Ich gehe dort immer ein Mittagsmenü essen.
Sieht aus wie ein sehr schöner Spaziergang! Dieses Jahr habe ich leider nur den Zahnarzt in Graz gesehen.. vielleicht nächstes mal. Grützi!

NEXT: Solar panels on the roof and mopeds to get around all the beautiful small towns!
Because in reality we drive from socket to socket, solar isn't that much needed. We can do five days with the batteries, and in daily practice we found out that that is the maximum amount of time we are away from a socket anyway. Yet, I have no regrets for not putting solar on the roof.. We do take bikes with us most of the time. Mopeds would be a very tight fit..
Makes the Airstream my parents had look tiny!
Beautiful family and home 😊
I am from America and I’m telling you,those roads are tiny compared to here.
J’adore quel beau camping-car.....bus...😉
Love tge TH-cam Onrust! sign in the bus. Fun!
Dude your awesome, keep it running, thumbs up
Have you been thinking of visiting Serbia, maybe down south to Montenegro or Greece to the sea afterwards? If so, you are welcome to visit us in Serbia.There is a lot to see and taste
We've developed an aversion against travelling too far with the bus, so I doubt we'll ever get to Serbia. That said, I must confess we had plans for Sweden this year, but with the present situation it is doubtful if we can go through with that. Personally I'd love to see Serbia. But is it safe? The feeling is always different anywhere beyond Austria..
2:47 I would've thrown my camera at it.
Double Decker RV - Onrust! man :)
Love your videos and your sense of humour.
One question: do you have to avoid certain roads/ highways because of low bridges and overpasses?
The bus is 4 meters, the road legal limit over here (13.1 ft). That means that you're fine on the highways and main streets in Europe, but on smaller roads it is trickier. It happens that you have to take a detour sometimes, but not that often. In all the time we traveled with the bus, it happend us two or three times (in three years).
That's interesting as I've just learnt something just like u did, You know Neoplan s are famous for self combustion , loads have gone up in service in the past but I never knew they had an extra brake
Onrust! Well it's a credit to you , amazing coaches they are and still to this day they stand out , the very best of luck in your lovely mobile home
Perhaps you should inquire as to the feasibility of having engine compression brakes aka Jake Brakes, installed on the engine. It will ensure safe descent in the hills and help save your service brakes from excessive wear and possibly getting on fire.
I overheated the retarder. That was just plain stupid - it's the way you learn too. :-) Now I'm just putting it in a lower gear sooner downhill. We had no problems since.
Yes. I am truck driver here in the U.S. and we are taught to downshift before starting down and to use the same gear going down as you did going up. Nice job on the conversion!
Nice! You come to Soest on my 18.Birthday!
Meinst du das wir dort waren auf deinem Geburtstag oder ist es eine Einladung? 😊
@@Onrust1 Ich meinte, ihr seid in Soest gewesen an den Tag, wo ich 18 geworden bin!
Das ist schön! Und ein Zufall.. 😊 Und ich nehme an du wohnst dort? Oder?
@@Onrust1 Nein, ich wohne in einem anderen Teil von Deutschland! Aber cooler Bus den ihr habt! Toll gemacht!
A totally amazing bus conversion and the end result is stunning but it would be nice to know the cost of buying the bus and converting it that's unless it will get you in to trouble with your wife as we wouldn't want that lol
Thank you.
You've not yet watched enough videos in this channel. 😎 There is one dedicated to the cost.
@@Onrust1 OK i will check it out, Thanks
U were definitely in Stubenbergsee and kaindorf i am there many times and it's a beautiful place great bus btw...
Bist du von dort? Ich habe dort Verwandten, ich war vorige Woche noch in Pischelsdorf und Hartberg.. Ich liebe Stubenbergsee.. Danke! Grüße aus Holland!
@@Onrust1 Ich bin von Hartberg und wir fahren sehr oft an Wochenenden zum Stubenbergsee
Na sowas.. 😊 Ich habe gesehen wie man jetzt arbeitet an dem Kreisverkehr beim Krankenhaus in Hartberg. Und wir haben Schnitzel gegessen bei Der Schildbacherhof. Kennst du das?
@@Onrust1 Ja die Straße schaut momentan Furchtbar aus aber wird sicher noch schön und der Verkehr wird wieder flüssig laufen. Ja aber in schildbach bin ich nicht oft unterwegs.
What a beauty!
Super homebus! Super housewife!
Замечательное видео! Делайте ещё
that 🐝 tho! 😆😂
I LOVED GUYS, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO, THANK YOU
Yooo i actually said that "wtf what was that thing" exactly when you put it on screen lol 😂
Great bus btw man congratulations!
For real though, what was that? 🤔
A wasp.
Did anyone notice the ghost at 6:25? Please someone tell me they saw it too!?
Ich live in Austria it's such a great Place
I bin a halber Ö und stimme völlig ein! Wo bist du her? Meine verwandte wohnen in der Steiermark.
Ich wohne in der Nähe von Wien
Onrust! Dein Bus ist der Traum eines jedem Campers
AWESOME!!! Wishing you many happy trips. :-)
Very nice 👍😀👍
Wish I could do this in Indonesia too. We have some stylish modern-looking buses here that would be perfect to be converted to an RV. :) But the cost is too damn expensive :(
I'm glad you're making such great use for your RV, I seen the build video about a year ago and I was wondering if you would loaf around your local city or take it for a nice spin.
I got my answer. may many mixed emotional adventures be ahead of you and your family
Engine warming, that was the big issue in Neoplan buses, i know it in 90's when was in short service in my country.
I had engine heating problems too, but since the radiator got overhauled, we can do anything without any problems (in particular climbing hills / mountains). I know of other bus owners with similar problems, so I guess this is not really a problem limited to Neoplans...
@@Onrust1
Good thing. Any way i like what you did to the bus and engine swap also. Good work !
Nice trip^^ I love your video from korea
oh its so amazing for me
