Re: skoolie days
thank you, still have lots to do, we did get out for a night last weekend that weather cleared up on sunday.
I got most of the windows tinted ou the back where the bed room is I went 5% limo tint,(black) and towards the front 20% (lighter)
getting ready to finnish the outside paint, and install awning. the plan is to get the outside done, the go back to the inside, install flooring etc, will post the pics as work gets going, weather is still to cold and wet for painting.
good luck when u get started on yours

That is the best idea for tint. This weekend, I had come up with the same idea since I have a few windows left untinted. I decided to move the tinted windows (5% limo tint) to the back of the bus, bedroom area, and do the front windows in 20%. Its just funny that after I decided to do that, you posted about how you have done the exact same thing! I guess great minds think alike...or something like that.

Thanks,
We really liked how the colors in the curtains worked with everything else, so we had to find a way to keep them.

No the table is perment, but there is storage under the seats , we have a bunk beds and a double bed in the back can sleep 4 so we didnt have the need to make the table into a bed

Re: skoolie days
Well apparently the attachment quota on this board has been reached so we can not post any pics.
However, we are on the road again. This time we're off to Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin for a week. We will post more later and with any luck some pics.

Re: skoolie days
We made it back from our trip, 2053kms all good no problems, did not have any problems staying at camp site they let us in with out batting a eye. the weather was hot, it put a good test on the 2 a\c in the bus, but we stayed cool.
will have pic posted as soon as DW has the bucket thing set up, have the paint job to show, and a few other upgrades, as well we promised the floor plan to edfrank.
