What should we take?

[Emiel]

Hi all,
After years of hard work my dad and I are almost done with our touring car, a old Mercedes-Benz bus. But now the important question what should we buy/take with us when we go out with it?
Your input will is appreciated!

Here are some places to start:

Of course a lot depends on where you plan to go and for how long, what conditions you expect, how far off-grid you'll get, etc.

And we *must* see photos of this bus!! Welcome aboard.

@Steve Thank you very much, we are not planning to go off-road. (unfortunately) the bus isn't build for it, and after 7 years working on it I don't think he is gonna get wild in the near future. But I will upload a picture soon!

@Steve I post the picture, I know it isn't similar to what any of you got, but it is ideal for family vacations!

That's the beauty of Overland Bound; no one here will judge your choice of transportation. We'll only cheer your encouragement to get out and explore!

Dude! That bus is awesome! Please post some pictures for us to drool over! I've been dreaming about building up an old school bus... any old bus really.

Very cool!

To answer the question... take everything! Lol! [emoji2] you're in a bus, you'll be able to fit whatever you want... most of us here would never consider taking a couch, but you, you have that option.

If it's a fully converted bus/camper then I'd say food... I'm my experience what makes or breaks an outing is a comfortable sleeping arrangement and good food.

JMO.
