Inside page 1. Before I could do a full-scale build out, I had to run wiring and get some of the larger plumbing items in place. I also had to do some of the rough carpentry.
The first thing you see when you walk up the steps is the ceiling. The AC unit, a smoke/carbon monoxide detector and a vent fan/skylight.
I sheeted the walls with luon paneling. Cheap and easy to work with. I am going to wallpaper over with a textured wallpaper. The frame at the back will be my bed. The green tanks are 55 gallon vanilla extract drums that I got for $8 each. They are new food-service rated plastic so I can safely use them for potable water. And they smell like vanilla, too.
A close up of the 55 gal drum. It is full of water for a plumbing leak check. No leaks.
Looking at the paneled walls and dash area from the back.
My handy-dandy custom dash board complete with backup camera monitor, generator remote start switch and other misc switches. I totally rewired the entire 12 volt electrical system in the bus because of all of stuff I had to remove. I am going to secure the monitor before I go anywhere.
More dashboard fun! I made a HUGE storage area on the passenger side. I will be able to put all kinds of goodies in there.
Nifty new leather shifter I got at Pep Boys. Now that's performance, baby.
The front door.
50 amp automatic transfer switch to switch from shore power to generator and vice-versa, automatically. 50 amp 240/120 breaker box with a 20 amp and 30 amp breaker. I was warned to make sure to use stranded electrical cable and not solid copper since solid copper can't take the vibration and would break. Thanks to my local RV store for the tip.
Test fitting my GPS into the little dash shelf I made for it.
