Well the last few weekends have been spent testing and using the bus and it is almost finished ... few tweaks still needed like the single gas supply to the propex heater and other appliances but Dan and the boys are off tomorrow for their annual Dad's & Sons camp with Nathan and his SA splitty so its getting used anyway.
The bulkhead unit is working really well, must admit its the first time I've actually used a sink in a bus as a sink instead of extra storage :lol:
So first shot is the final now you can't see it ...
Then followed by the rainy day/if I have too TV & DVD operating on the manual lifter
And then two shots of the hob working as a slide out unit under the canopy, with the newly finished drop in unit which keeps it even more secure and works as a safe place to rest hot pans - it also doubles up as a tray when taken out and turned over
This final shot shows where we have infilled the gap between the sliding and the unit just like westfalia did originally and I must admit it finishes off that part of the bus really well. The rear hinge covering unit is now back in place with the LED down lights, all that is left is for me to make up the kick boards that house the front speakers and fit the redesigned under dash shelf which now allows the handbrake to function fully
It's given us a bus that is really usable which was the plan all along .... and hopefully something that is using the available space a little differently - the unit between the front seats with the map and magazine rack is an absolute god send for useful storage and hiding stuff
So glad summer is here, and for a bus originally built in 1972 it sure drives really well
