I Love it man. The dark color looks great. Do you have a roof rack? I love the drawers in the back also. Great idea. Does your bus feel heavier with new interior?


Cheers bud, it doesn't feel any heavier really as it had an interior before, yeah I have a roof rack here's a pic

Looks Great!! It would be kick ass to have some screens for the safari windows. Keep the bugs out when camping.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great thread, really helped me get started. I will post pics in here of mine when done. Just one question, how did you bolt/screw frame to bus floor?

Awesome thread and a job well done!

Out of curiosity: are there wall-mounted supports (or stabilizers) for the table as well? If so, what did you use?

Cheers,
Avo

Looks great. Good job.

Why did you put in the floor last? I'm thinking of putting in mine first so the bottom of the storage compartments are flat and buffer the contents from the metal.

Only thing I would do different is... on the bulkhead shelves, I'd put the L-brackets underneath so they don't show.

Ditto there!
With such an extensive interior (i.e.extra weight) what's pushing your bus along....a 1600dp or something with a bit more poke?

A mate made the wind shield for me, works great and folds flat for storage.
