Or a corner sofa.
No seriously, it has an Air Ride seat, you don't so much sit as "float" while you drive
I bought a coach!

This is amazing! Congrats on the purchase, excited to see what the final product looks like!

I haven't sat on a air ride seat, I imagine its pretty comfortable, but doesn't look very supportive, Maybe...There's air ride armchairs?

I used to get a lift sometimes to sites with the lorry drivers at work - way way better than sitting on a bus or train, etc. not to mention the leg room you have. I was surprised how smooth it was - you can actually get some work done on the way.

What an amazing project - it should have a lot of life left in it. In one of my previous jobs I often used to chat to coach drivers from Ukraine and Belarus - most drove late 90s or early 2000s Vanhool and Setra models with over 3,000,000km on them, so yours is barely broken in. They'd drive them from home to the south of France and back every few weeks, with no concerns over reliability.

Id fit some nice reversing cameras so you can get a 3d image, nice rotating waterbed as well. Will make ideal mobile shag pad.

The low idle fast idle videos are both fast idle videos sir. 
Awesome plan though, god.

OK this sounds quite exciting!
Apologies if these are stupid questions but I assume you have an appropriate license to drive something like this already? I'm guessing there's nothing stopping someone buying a large "commercial" large vehicle like this and just using it for pleasure, be it a huge coach or an HGV?
Where are you going to store it?

Depends on the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle, how many passenger seats remain and when the OP passed his driving test.

I love this! I would love something like this! Please do a YT build or a build here I really want to follow the journey!No seriously, it has an Air Ride seat, you don't so much sit as "float" while you drive

Fixed
Youtube for sure, My channel was originally created for this build but ended up doing gaming videos
You going to get a small convertible car slung underneath in the luggage space, like that ludicrous one that was on Top Gear a few years back?

I've already said how great this is
I think one issue though is that it won't be very easy to drive in towns (it also won't be EURO4/5/6/whatever compliant) and caravan parks might not accept it overnight either. But it will be interesting to watch. Last year I watched a few vanlife youtube channels. There is one guy who has converted an old ambulance which seems the perfect size to me.

Not too worried about Caravan Parks, always a lay-by you can use (the joy of it being a vehicle that should take rest breaks). Vanlife is fine until you live it, then you are forever living in compromise, I don't want to compromise and after driving Buses around Bath for 4 years, I am used to dealing with very tight spaces (I also have a truck satnav that will stop me going anywhere that will give me a problem).

I will have a motorcycle onboard or tow a Smart Car (yes it has a towbar). Underneath isn't an option without significantly rebuilding the structure as the space frame underneath is part of the body structure.

Very cool.
