Mark, THANK YOU for all of this information, advice and opinion :thumbup: I highly respect your input and I'm grateful you let me know your thoughts. Well, I guess since that half of the heating unit is already removed and with your info about it producing heat in the summer even with the valves shu...

Hello Max! The bus you are going to check out is very close to me. In fact, my sister and her kids live there so I go there often...it's only about 45 minutes away. Menomonie is a college town so I'm surprised that bus hasn't sold already...everybody must be broke at the end of the year :D Looks lik...

Thanks, Rudy...I can't take all the credit because my son gave me a hand on this stuff thank goodness because sure I wasn't strong enough to remove the steel running along the wall for the rear heater and blower...plus a lot more got done than if it were just me :roll: We've been working on two proj...

Front looking back....the floor, walls and ceiling are all lined with plastic vapor barrier, all framed out and insulated now! http://i51.tinypic.com/2e3y0xf.jpg Tomorrow I'll begin to put on this pine siding I bought last summer for the walls and ceiling.... http://i56.tinypic.com/35ic3zs.jpg I'll ...

I hope I'm showing enough detail...there were just too many photos and not enough time for me to sor them out very well. In this photo you can see the insulation...it has foil on one side, which was placed toward the ceiling. First though, the whole ceiling was lined with heavy plastic, then the fir...

Here's a little closer view of the ceiling furring strips. They were then screwed to the ceiling with self tapping screws, right into the steel bars that hold the metal ceiling panels to the roof.

Here you can see the framing with the plastic barrier on the wall before the insulation. With a pile of my lumber on the left and on the right are the furring strips I used on the ceiling. There are cuts that go about half way through the board and a couple of inches apart from each other. They are ...

Ya...I have a lot of stuff to work around in the bus. If I had the other bus moved to my land I would have put all the into it and made life a lot easier. It's VERY time consuming having to keep moving everything out of the way :cry: This next photo is one of the back windows. They are both done the...

Now for some walls, windows and the ceiling!

I used 2x2's to frame around the windows and walls. I used the same 1 and 1/2 inch pink rigid board insulation (pink panther stuff).

Same area right next to drivers seat after table/vent thing removed...but the floor where the hoses were cut out has been replaced. I laid a 2x2 along the floor where the hoses used to lay under the floor, filled in the empty areas with pink board insulation then screwed pieced of OSB over it to mat...

This the Hurry Hot thing to the far right under the dash area right next to the front door....I'm hoping this has something to do with defrost and possibly some heat in the drivers area.

Here that table thing with the heater vents under it right next to the driver's seat has been cut out and removed. This is the part that makes me worry there is now no heat and possibly no defrost function now. There is one more heater like this just as you come in the door under that dash called a ...

This next photo is pretty self explanatory...the hoses are disconnected from the rear heater and placed in a 5 gallon bucket to prevent antifreeze from leaking everywhere. http://i52.tinypic.com/9i6xrq.jpg In this photo, that long silver steel cover has been cut out, the floor has been cut out and t...

These next three photos show what it looked like after I framed and insulated the floor last summer. The heater hoses are on the right under the plastic right against the wall then there's a 2x4 to the left of the hoses. It's kind of hard to see it these photos AND I have since torn it all out and r...

Here's the rear heater and some kind of blower that was attached at the end of that steel casing that covered part of the heater hoses and wiring that is seen in the first photo 2 posts ago....
