My dinette idea. Sets fold up for storage under the set. The set on the left folds flat to make a long bed, and folds in reverse to face the front of the bus. So every set can be used to see the TV.

Nice woodworking. I'd like a checkerboard table and seats.

That is a nice looking bus. So how is your build taking nine years? Yeah I know, life gets in the way. I've had to readjust my priorities to keep working on mine.

I've got to be curious about what level your interior is at. Have you insulated, etc.?

Yes it is insulated, and I removed all the old fiberglass insulation and inside sheet metal. Took out about half of the windows too. Glued double bubble foil insulation to the inside roof and between wood and rafters.

Where do the table legs go when it's in bed mode?

The table leg is attached to the bottom of the table with a Hing and folds flat to the table. I will post a picture of it later.

I like that bench/bed. It's an awesome design.
