Didn't want stero showing so fitted that in the glove box ,managed to fit the amp and fuse box under seat as I didn't want it under rear seats ,I've run all the leisure and stero wiring under bus in its own loom

Got everything fitted back in and added some sub sockets for kids gadgets ,there well happy and the sound is great ,to be fair it's as good as the surround sound in the house and there isn't one wire connected from the screens to the stereo :D ,the wife is still asking me how I've managed to stream sound from one to the other :lol:

It's ready for trimmers now but I am struggling to find one down this way ,I wanted to have ago myself as I have done everything from home either out the front of house or in my shed ,the wife and kids have informed me they plan to do some slide show thing to put on YouTube and she wants to send a copy to volksworld to see if they would feature the bus as a home project ,I need to add up the bills but I think a few peeps will be shocked at much you save haveing a go yourself .lets have a little fun ,have a guess how much the interior cost without the stove ????????
