This is still a 'maybe' and would *probably* happen after the basics of the conversion were done.

I'm die'n here.... can we guess what it is? If so please give us more hints, cause I'm stumped.

Jacuzzi?

[lapeer20m]

you can't put a jacuzzi in a bus, that would never work!

Hyperbaric chamber...or whatever it is that divers use to de-compress?

Or a sensory depravation chamber, like in the movie Jacob's Ladder?

[phillbus914]

so is that it? I was gunna guess a jaccuzzi but I think they weigh more than that (at least with the water in it) & I dont know what kind of outboard equipment there would be.

I was looking around on your posted links and see a lot of intresting pictures so I would guess maybe some sort of film developing equipement, like in a dark room?

Nice. Looking forward to seeing your bus conversion unfold. I've found that the bus conversion crowd is a group of fine folks on many levels.

We're just over a year into ours. We thought we'd have as much time as possible, but our housing situation dictates that we finish by mid-July '06. Looking to build full-time, independent living quarters for 2 adults and 1 cat.

Anyway, good luck & welcome aboard!
