The Walters Family School Bus to RV to RV Conversion Site
Finished build and first trip
On the Road
I finally finished all of the construction on the inside and outside and I painted the beast. I intended on adding vinyl stick-on graphics to the side of the bus after I painted it, but I decided to put that off until later.
Our first trip covered 2400+ miles through multiple states and Washington, D.C. Everything worked great. There were a few minor kinks to work out, but all-in-all it was very cool.
The driver side after the paint job. Note the hinged custom steel generator cover panel just in front of the battery compartment door. I painted all of the tanks and other hanging stuff underneath with rubberized undercoating.This photo was taken at the Virginia Welcome Center at the TN/VA border. We did it! We actually took this thing on a trip!The driver seat. I got this brand new from a FlexSteel dealer. This is a 6-way power seat with swivel. It is covered with something called Ultraleather.Final interior with carpet. With all of the little luxury RV touches, this thing feels a lot like one of the newer Class-C RVs that people are spending big-bucks on.
