With the exception that we want our king bed in the back, this is basically the exact layout that we want!! Down to the Chest freezers!

Actually we even toyed with an idea similar to this one but...

Re: A hippie with a not-so-minivan

Ack no! Though I would love to be able to get it done in that!

We had someone come and take care of the AC because of the Freon... which some of which then went into our car because we were missing some. The guy was great and took the units with him to sell them...

Re: A hippie with a not-so-minivan

Re: A hippie with a not-so-minivan

Bansil, I stand corrected...

When the shelf is still completely riveted.. It is less that I don't have enough room for the tools but more that my short arms and well... my chest... don't allow me...

Re: A hippie with a not-so-minivan

Bansil...

Getting the rivets off (option 2) and being able to re-use the shelves and brackets is the plan that I want to take, I just cant get my tools in there. Seeing how the shelf is so close...

Re: A hippie with a not-so-minivan

Thanks for the detailed description but I don't think that we have the same AC units.
What we have is the stock Trans-Air Units that came with the bus. You can see the fans on either side of me in...

Re: A hippie with a not-so-minivan

As you know... Getting the floors out of the bus is not a small task, just like most of the things that we need to do on the bus. As showed in my last post, the back of the bus had rotten plywood but...

Re: A hippie with a not-so-minivan

No... I am like you... I want to make sure that I have a good foundation without surprises down the line that could have been avoided.
