Re: Our American School Bus in Sheffield, England.
Had some new lights fitted. The units are from IKEA, 12v directly wired into the leisure battery and have replaced the standard bulbs with LED ones. The power is fed via the cables that support them.

Re: Our American School Bus in Sheffield, England.
I had worried about that but the cables are very, very tight and so they travel really well. The design is great that you can change where they point and light.

Re: Our American School Bus in Sheffield, England.

Anybody know anything about it?

Re: Our American School Bus in Sheffield, England.
Thanks... I get it.. sounds like they will be getting teams to fit out School Buses so could be fun to watch. Not happening until July apparently.

I just hope two things - they don't use all school buses and they don't air it until after I buy my bus. Tv destroys every subculture it commercializes, and the price of everything will go up, including buses. I've already seen this happen to the tattoo industry and it's very sad (and part of the reason I'm partially retired)

Re: Our American School Bus in Sheffield, England.
Really nice decor.
Is that a incinerating toilet?
What is the covering on the walls and floor?

Re: Our American School Bus in Sheffield, England.
The toilet is a porcelain 'drop through' type so when flushed the waste drops through the floor into a large tank slung under the bus... there is then an electric pump out. We went for marine systems with pressurised water system etc. The guys who did the work are boat builders based in Bradford, England.

Re: Our American School Bus in Sheffield, England.
Sorry, forgot to add that the floor and walls were covered in a safety flooring sheet material and we made the bathroom into a wet room with a shower and drain in the floor (into a tank).

Re: Our American School Bus in Sheffield, England.
Our bus at the Glastonbury Festival last year... The stage ended up being so large that it got a little lost but as a green room and production area it worked really well.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have to say thanks for the pics. Your bus is one of my top 2 inspirations for my build.
A really, really nice looking bus.

Love the interior!
The colors aren't my particular taste, but really liking the layout and bathroom design.
I've even thought of a ship's door design before I settled on sliding doors.
