I figure with that stove, the heat tape/blankets for the tanks in the compartments(if I have a coach), the insulated window treatments ezrablue posted and some type of central air or heat pump hooked to shore power with a switch flip to genset, I should have a decent grasp on winter.
My cat will be sure to let me know otherwise.

Here is another option. No air brakes though.Headache wrote:I did check that out but would prefer the body remain mostly intact. Too much of that has been cut away for my liking but thanks for putting up the add.
After seeing that tv bus you picked up I'm really interested in that too.
I do have to keep in mind that I'd have to have power steering and prefer air brakes over mechanical.

Hopefully, if things go okay and I have enough monies, I'll be taking a peak at a coach next month if it's still available.Jones'n4chrome wrote:Here is another option. No air brakes though.
I'm going to try to trade my Subaru for a van so I can haul my stuff across the US and for another convenient reason, the electrical guy is highly allergic to cats so my frisky feline is going to be van bound for the summer. Luckily for him I'm going to acquire some sort of a/c to stick in the van to keep his temper cooled off. lol
The van will also come in handy for another reason; I'll use it similar to Dennis's solar trailer only a bit smaller. I'm going to build a rack unit on wheels that I can roll out the back of the van, unfold the panels and plug into the bus.
Yes, as intimidated as I am by it I'm going to try out toading!
As I stated in Rudy's thread I'm very interested in covering the ceiling of my future project bus. My reasons for wanting this are acoustical, slight amount insulation(without sacrificing much head space) as well as decorative. I'm not a "girlie girl" but I do have my artistic pursuits.
I see that one of my decorative heroes and online mentor Mr. Von Slatt has partaken of similar;

And of course I can't leave out the infamous Magnolia Pearl;

I was wondering how this affects interior moisture and is there any special way to install a ceiling covering using fabric to not attract moisture absorption? Would the use of a dehumidifier be warranted for this?
I'm assuming that I would have to do a different kind of install since I will be living in mine full time as opposed to travel living.
If you have any links for other installs I'd be most grateful and Rudy I'd like to know more about yours as well if there are any more details you can add.

Headache...I found a way that is probably easier than that. Instead of having to cut all them strips and nail them all, you just lay the whole sheets and use a router to make faux board cuts. MUCH less work and nails. I think I'm going to do it this way in my bus:

P.S. I think I'm going to do some woodburning designs on parts of mine before I stain and poly them.
