Being good at welding means that you know how to handle the situation. Otherwise make yourself a favour and:
1) learn
or 2) don't do stuff you do not have enough knowledge about.

Why don't you just spray foam insulation?. Will hold everything nice and tight and fill all the holes. No rattles ever.

Re: living out of a bus
If you plan to go to a regular camping site they have all the connections on the driver's side (water, power, drain, etc). You may want to follow the standard.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
Probably they have been abused (run into total discharge, partial charges, etc). Maybe they will be just scrap. Check before working to install them.

Battery posts and terminals look awfully dirty and oxidized. Clean them out first because they put a high resistance on the electrical path.

Re: Great Roof Deck Build

Read the regulations about max length RC+ trailer in your state BEFORE sailing out. You don't want to learn about them in the middle of nowhere from some trooper!.

Re: Canadian Skoolie Project
Looks like you did not put a trap on the sink in the kitchen. If it is just a straight drop into the tank gasses will come out thru the pipe into the bus. Not nice.

Free unsolicited advice
When attaching wood to wood use carpenter's glue (the yellow one) because it penetrates into the fibers and makes a stronger joint. This does not happen with Liquid Nails.
