Now on to the living quarters.
Is that a fart fan on the wall?
And, of course, the shower.

I wonder if that is solid surface on the shower wall. Looks like faux marble.
Soooo much work just to sell it.

I wondered the same thing about that fan!
I'm not a fan of the modern look of the interior but the quality restoration of the dash area sold me in that the modern didn't matter as much as how beautiful of a job they did. That bus is immaculate. They couldn't have done any less than a frame up on it.
I wish I could do that with mine!

Anyone know how they did that gray covered headliner? I really, really like that.

They probably glued that liner to the ceiling. Maby they put a thin layer of foam rubber insualtion on first with something like construction adhesive, and then glued the cloth liner to that? Or perhaps they used contact cement so they did not have to hold it up in place while it dried? That way they could just roll and press it up and have it come out so nice and smooth with no wrinkles

I think these have been mentioned here before, but a refresher can't hurt.

IT LIVES AND RUNS AND MOVES!!!!!yugogypsy wrote:I don't have picture to submit, but my friend Rob has an old GMC Fleury-(no export-all Canadian)
Essentially its a one ton Chevy 350 Chassis, coachwork by Fleury, 19 ft bumper to bumper, used to sleep 6 before someone took out the rear fold up bunk over the table.
Roomier now though--and here I go again, I'm going to try to have him revamp it--at least I've got him to the point where he says he'll spend a day off trying to get it to run, it turns over, but no fuel--gas tank problem.
If he can run it off a big boat fuel can, he can get it into his step-mom's shop to work on it.
I told him to take a picture when he gets around to washing it
Cheers
Lois
Today it is getting a bath and Rob has promised to send me "before" and "after" pics.
I was nagging him again about fixing it up--says he needs new tires too. Guess I'd better send him the site link, that motorhome would look awesome with a few ideas I have

The RV industry has a masonite type of panel with foam and a very nice vinyl covering (leather looking) in 4x8 sheets available at the surplus stores around Elkhart.Anyone know how they did that gray covered headliner?
This bus looks to be one piece, so it may be they glued it up. Nicely done.

Thank You Rudy
I sent Rob the link-so maybe he'll get curious and see all the other great stuff on the site!
I have talked him into a composting toilet, even found the plans to build it and instructions for use online!
@ EVERYONE---ideas to "specialize" this motorhome please! I need some aiding and abetting to get Rob to fix this beast properly.
Thanks
