Re: old 98

Seeria, I used 3/4 oak plywood then made the raised panels from solid 3/4 oak boards that I milled , I own my own saw mill. thats why I used so much wood . Everything is screwed glued and biscuit jointed so no creaks or noises as we roll down the road

Re: old 98

I reached a certain point a couple of years ago and stopped working on the bus, pretty much when the satelite tv went in! This summer I decided I'm going to finish it? I plan on putting on a 3' rear deck with a generator enclosure another liquor cabinet a sink and would like to put in a battery bank so I don't have to run the generator so much. The only thing is I'm not sure how to wire the batteries into my breaker panel to run off the batteries when I'm not "plugged in " any ideas would be appreciated
