Hey everyone
Just saying hello. I've just bought a Volvo Olympian double decker bus. I'm based in England uk and it was a used as a school bus.
I have found this site to be very very useful and visit most days.
My first of many questions I am sure is

How do I plan the layout if I don't know about electrics and plumbing etc?

But I can't do the electrics and plumbing without a layout or a plan.

We are going to live in the bus permanently and the bus will not be moved often if at all

Cheers

u first determine what side is the plumbing and electrical normal hook up locations. ie usa is left side. then u make your floor plans from there. so the point of course is research first.

We are on revision 9 of our floor plan. You can keep changing it until you start building it. One of the biggest things I took into consideration is placement of the water and gray tanks and the plumbing going to it.

No, you can keep making revisions, even after you started building. Ask my wife.

That's the same bus but mine is dirty and looks a mess at the moment. I think water is the big one and will plan around that
