It's not your fault Josiah, it's mine. For some reason I forgot how to post pics and waited too long and now I can't delete my post 
Here is what I'm trying to show: https://goo.gl/photos/ehfw7DzenbLEdrqt5

I finally completed my layout for the inside of the bus. This will probably change several times but at least it's a starting point  .

Does anyone have knowledge of what the GVW amount means? Is this the weight of the bus empty, or an estimate of all the seats filled with students?

My understanding is that it's the combined total of the weight carrying ability of the front and rear axles, i.e. it's the total max allowed all-up weight of the vehicle (assuming that you're smart enough to distribute the weight so that each axle sees its max).

Well, I'm starting to get excited. Our bus will be delivered to us on either the 13th or 20th of this month. I'm dying to get started on it, even in this south Texas heat.
Here are the layouts my wife finally came up with. She's the interior designer so I just do what she says, when it comes to the interior of the bus anyway...lol.
Drivers Side
Passenger Side
Bedroom

My plans are to utilize a 3' to 4' garage... For laundry room & storage, wall behind bed, with drawers opposite side of washer/dryer... Long drawers for laundry, that pull out into the bedroom. Wash/dry laundry, fold it, turn around and put it in drawer. Use extended drawer slides
Then when I wanna get dressed, just pull out a drawer.
Hope that makes sense... I accidentally got into the Apple Crown Royal

Yep, sounds good. I'll have a 3 ft. deep storage area at the very back of the bus as well behind the bedroom wall.
Nice find on the washer/dryer.

Minghs? Gaeage? I guess you let the Apple Crown Royal marinate good last night after consumption........    : sick:
BTW, does the word "insude" have a similar meaning to "in suede" or "in Swede"?
*I wonder how long a mingh is.......... Is it in metric or Old English units?........*
Sorry, I just can't help myself sometimes.......
