Re: Wild Blue

I have visions of bouncing down I-20 and the ceiling coming down. I've heard I-10 is even worse and should be avoided as much as possible.

Re: Wild Blue

It must feel great to have your bus all "wooded in"! I'll bet it smells nice too. It looks awesome. I'm trying to put as much wood as I can in my bus as well.

Re: Wild Blue

Hey RR --- Lookin' good! And you have likely seen it by now, but the famous (and amazingly patient) "Mr. Sharkey" has a large collection of bus & truck conversion pix & info that is very inspirational. Many of them feature extraordinary woodworking and outrageous ideas that challenge the imagination. For any converters who haven't seen it yet...

http://www.mrsharkey.com/index.html


Amazing stuff. You can spend a couple of days pouring over the details in some of them.

Re: Wild Blue

Thanks for posting - the bus looks great! That must be a small space to live in especially in the winter when you can't really hang outside so much. Especially with two people, a dog and a cat?! Do I have that right?!

Your bus is sort of the opposite setup as mine inside. You're bus is mostly kitchen/dining, whereas mine has a tiny kitchen and is mostly seating and beds. Just goes to show why people make their own RV - total design customization to our individual needs!

Keep us updated when you can, I really like your conversion!

Re: Wild Blue

Hey RR --- Lookin' good! And many thanks for the update and pics. It appears that you did a great job of deciding what your expectations were, then building to that end. That's the great benefit of of the DIY approach. No coach builder could/would ever construct what you've put together. Stay warm, keep the solar clear of snow and please do keep up the posts.
