Ideas for what to build over the wheels

Yup, that's a plan I've been thinking of.

Yeah but still... I don't think I could do it.
So then you would have an extra curtain or something butted right up in front of the shower head? Just seeing the shower head each time I walked by would bother me.

Bob, by the time they're teenagers it probably won't work. Sadly, most of them learn to swim.

Mysty, when people build their buses right you'd never know there were wheel wells there. That said, I prefer these buses without wheel wells. Fewer build restrictions. Now that I'm towards the end of this build, wheel wells wouldn't really impact the layout very much.

I'm with ^this kid.

If I were by myself maybe. Showerhead still has to be on side wall or the other. Toilet on the other side wall. The drain basin could be from side wall to center. MAYBE.

I'm planning on taking the gf with me. I don't want to be waiting for her to get out of the shower or toilet if I decide I need a glass of milk RIGHT NOW.

How did you live to be this old while being that dumb? Just means you need to use more cinder blocks. They're cheap and reusable even. Remember the environmental 3Rs. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

For the Rear wheel wells I am considering raising the roof and then raising the floor in the rear of the bus with a step up and storage under. Which includes decking over the aft wheel wheels.

Some of us just have dumb luck. It's like 50/50 you know? I'm definitely on a run at this age. I've been using cinder blocks for the wrong things.

I had some reservations about retroactive abortion because the kids were to strong after they became teenagers. They just weren't cooperative. I must have raised them wrong if they weren't willing to sacrifice themselves for my greater good.

Bodies float eventually when put in water. Here in Oregon we put bodies beneath large stumps way out in the woods. Fertilizer, you know.

Ok you get the rack in the torpedo room.

My 2c would be to put your storage over the wheels. So you can correct any weight issues to keep the weight in the magic zone on each corner. Not much of an issue on springs but can be an issue with underload air bags.

Had to google that one. Thought everyone got those just by being on board a sub. Would be worth it just so you don't have to hot-bunk.

Just the rear? Will be an interesting look. I think my wells stand about 9" high? I should have held out for a wheelchair bus.

FL has large lizards that take care of bodies. OR has large fish.

As long as there was AC, I would have preferred it. There was more than one snoring ahole in deck division.

I have airbags. Hadn't given that any consideration but then I want to keep all the heavy stuff BETWEEN the frame rails. Tanks anyway. Gotta consider some on board water tho just in case of cold climates.
