Love your stove
Hi Dusty - your bus is awesome & I love that stove what kind is it? & where did you find it ? Something like that would be perfect for my dream bus - cook tasty things & stay warm at the same time who could ask for more!

These are a little smaller and a little pricey but really nice stoves. http://www.marinestove.com/halibutinfo.htm

Thanks db, I enjoyed making them, I agree it adds character and makes the view interesting too.
I took the truck to Hanmer Springs , there is a nice little bridge over the Hanmer river, and as it was winter , a little white stuff on the hills ,, actually it was -7 C in the morning , so a little chilly to be camping in the back of the truck .
But such is life , when you gotta do things.
On the Bridge.
On the bridge , looking up to the Hanmer Basin.
Looking back towards the bridge .

I'll just slip back in time a bit here , to a trip to the North Island. We joined the gypsy fair for a summer.
A time of distinct contrasts.
We gathered Friday night at a local spot , usually near a river, where there was room for us , then did a slow drive thru the main street of the small town we were going to set up at.
Then Saturday and Sunday , we did the market , and during the following week , we went and hid some where , to "replenish stock".
So here we are heading into town, total House trucks this weekend 150 .
This pic is really bad grainy 'cause I copied it out of the local paper then.
And during the week we found that we were able to park near central Auckland , right on the waterfront , overlooking the harbour bridge and the million dollar yachts , for free, LOL .
Behind us is the 'tank farm' (fuel tanks) which no one wanted to be near

I just remembered a story about "Diamond Lil" the Leyland 1/2 cab at the front of the lineup.
When I was about 5yrs old , I remember traveling in it , from Karori to the Cable Car terminus. It was a really steep part of Wellington and the bus was in low gear, I was really worried that maybe the bus would not make it up the hill .
This must have made a real impression on me as a kid 'cause I remember it so clearly , the roar of the engine , the whine of the gears......
Later ...
The current owner worked on this bus as a 16yr old apprentice motor mechanic, now he lives in it! (He did all the conversion / loft etc).

Small town humor (Kurow) father and mother Xmas ... we had just crossed the Waitaki River at the Kurow bridge , minutes later the bridge was closed and minutes after that , the flooded river took away the bridge access and the big saw mill and all the stock, on the north bank.
A nice spot by the Waimakariri River ...

A couple of pics of some old history , from when I first got the bus.
Whitecliffs Music festival , 1991, a glimpse in the bus paddock. It was a great festival , about 3500 people , the family paddock was nice , the communial showers were , hmmm , liberating ... the teens paddock was rough!
Later , to relax from all the crowd , We parked on Flintoffs Farm, he used about 200 acres of the Waiau river flats as light grazing , it was lovely and quiet and the willows offered much needed shade.
