Do you have a build thread, a post, or more pictures that show this process? This is what I am envisioning doing. Did you have a source for the windows that was reasonable priced?

I didn't discover any leaks until I took the side panels off and pulled up the floor. That was when I knew there was water on the wrong side of the window.

When I was patching holes in the floor, I used 3M 560 Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant. That has worked well. It makes sense to use a liquidy sealant rather than a solid.

I'd much rather miss a good deal than take a risk on something I am not educated on. Good deals come by every once in a while. Once your cash is gone, there's no getting it back.

I teach elementary school all day long. You couldn't pay me to drive that 20 minutes of hell twice a day. On the flip side it would be nice to befriend a couple of mechanics!

Steel Gauge For Roof?

What gauge steel should I get to cover the emergency hatch hole? I need it to flex slightly because the top of the bus is an arc.

At some point I will be putting in an AC unit.
