Beginners w/ 82 Bluebird

Hey y'all we just bought a 1982 Bluebird and we need some advice and suggestions 😊

We have questions about running electric, flooring bc my man is 6'3" and we can't really do traditional flooring, and water tanks

I padded and carpeted and linoed on top of the rubber matting thats usually in buses. I'm also 74" and, according to specs, my inside height is 78". My water is in my basement. I've a separate wet side and an electrical side on the old girl, so reduced possibility of cross-contamination.

You have a link to your build? Am curious about the Squidmobile.

Squidmobile? Puhlease! Her name is Brunhilde!

No, no pix. She's a WIP, also my living quarters. Rent in my fair city is obscene. What you can afford, you don't want to live in. And what you want to live in, you can't afford. So, after my Dad passed away, I bought Brunhilde with my share of the inheritance. I was barely lucky enough to find a place to park her, which does include a 20 amp service.

I may be able to dig up some pix of the de-seating and subsequent flooring. After that, well.....
