A bus named Zero

[eethan]

I worked on the 12v electrical today while dad did some more carpentry.

[eethan]

Off school today so got some work done with pops (this project has turned into much more of a family project than i initially intended :P not gonna complain though!)

Got started in the other couch and did some more wiring for the lights

Also put some dome lights up front

After a bit of radio silence, here is an update. Counter is finished up, sink is mounted, and the ceiling is starting to go up. Also have done some more electrical work as well as plumbing. I cut a wall for the end of the hallway and mounted my control panels there, as it seemed like as good of a place as any.

What the heck
Where is your snow??

Nicely done ✅

LOVE looking through your build and AWESOME layout.

I am working on a few CAD layout possibilities myself. Would you care to share a few measurements with me? I am looking for the height measurement of the ceiling from the floor to where it meets the wall above the windows and then the center floor to ceiling height {with the ceiling in place}.

Also would you happen to have the measurements of your interior walls that makeup your bathroom? What width is your hallway measuring?

Can't wait to see the finished product! Love the innovative layout!! Very Very cool!

Thank you for sharing! Are you on Instagram?

Thanks! And sure, no problem. Next time I’m out there I’ll take some measurements and report back.

I am, but I don’t really post about the bus all that often so I’d prefer to keep it private

My mini split came today. I opted for the 115V 12000BTU pioneer model.

Pro tip for anyone wanting to order a pioneer one: use the code AGINGWHEELS to get $20 off. (It’s a guy on YouTube) Not much but it’s something

Not sure what picture it decided to upload but it’s not mine... here is what should have been attatched

Hallway: 21 inches across
Floor to top of window: 60 ¼ inches
Highest ceiling point in the center: 78 inches (plus another ¾ for the insulation and ¾ for the plywood, so a total of 79 ½ to the metal floor)
The long wall of the bathroom is 64 inches across, and the shower area is 31 ½ by 32 with the longer wide being perpendicular to the exterior bus walls. The opening between the shower/toilet area and rest of the bathroom is 21 inches. And the opening door area into the bathroom is 28 inches. I’m on my phone right now but this is all probably rather confusing so I’ll draw up a basic design when I’m at my computer later

Lots of work done today and yesterday. The ceiling in the front is done, and I have put in almost all the lights and done some more plumbing and electrical work that you can’t see in these pics

looking very nice

[Yukon Cornelius]

Looking stellar

[eethan]

More progress

Also... mysterious puddle appeared under the engine bay... hmmm maybe rain washing out old grease? Maybe a leak? (It’s only been run once recently 2 weeks ago so I’m not sure what would have happened between then and now)

Thanks! Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would look this good. The whole family has really come together to lend a hand and its looking great

[eethan]

We have started painting (and by we I mean mainly my mom, but don’t worry, I’m still helping out )

[eethan]

Oops forgot the pics

What's wrong with the wood look? A little polyurethane instead of paint..... The construction looks great though.
