Re: Who's Up For A Challenge?
Wouldn't you need to cut through the roof bows to have it recessed?

Re: Who's Up For A Challenge?
Budget?
Time frame?
This should be good, as we have all recently learned not to cut the support ribs.

Re: Who's Up For A Challenge?
You could have a bunch of mini awning that fit in between the bows.

Re: Who's Up For A Challenge?
I'm thinking of picking up a used force field emitter from a retired Federation starship then recessing it into the side of the bus with a clear lens cover to keep out the weather. Configure the beam as a half dome to keep out rain, wind, bugs, nosy campers and marauding Romulans. I think that would work a treat. 
I may pick up a used warp drive at the same time which would seriously cut down on our drive time.

Re: Who's Up For A Challenge?
I just thought of the one deal breaker on the force field idea; they don't block light so not very useful for shade. Duh.
I'm still looking for a used warp drive though.
