Any skoolies on the UK
Hi guys new to this forum and first post so apologies if this is not the correct place for this question.
Me and my wife are very interested in moving towards this lifestyle, however I have a reservation in that pretty much all YouTube videos I've watched are of people with awesome buses in the US, where the roads are made for these monsters and fuel price is much lower (although the country is much bigger so all relative in that sense I guess).
I wanted to know, are there any of you guys in this group that are doing this in the UK as I cannot find any. If so I have a million questions for you (hopefully that doesn't stop you from replying)
Thanks

Thanks Tim, I saw your bus on George Clarke’s amazing spaces about a year ago and loved it. Hoping to do something similar once we move out of our terrace house in London and get a drive/garage. Thanks for sharing your experience makes it feel less daunting reading how someone else has done it

Hi Tim,
I've been looking at importing a Schoolie to the UK and browsing through your website, which looks like you did an amazing job on both!
I'm locally based to you (West London), so it would be fantastic if I could pop over at a time that suits you for a brew and have a chat.
Cheerrs Tim!
