GMC 3500 Thomas Shortie Band bus

I recently bought a Thomas built short bus and plan on converting it into a bus my band can tour in. I plan on leaving the first row of seats but removing the back rows and replacing them with beds. I also hope to build a cot above the rear exit. These beds also need to be used as storage for drums, amps, keyboard ext.. Any ideas for a first time bus owner. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
