Looking good. Hope you had a good Christmas.

Surprised you didn't opt for a Deluxe quarterlight window. There again not sure you would want to fit the window again :lol:

The only thing I've done to our bus lately is charge the batteries :roll:

Roll on Spring and the show season. 8)

Had another few hours on the bus yesterday. I hadnt decided on the gas run, but wanted as few joints as possible, so set to work with the pipe bender and came up with this...........

All leak tested and working :D

The panel on the bulkead needs to be fixed, I dont want to screw thru as its a vunerable area behind the wheels so will bond it in place then cover the wood in material.

Oh made this with my 3yo son over xmas :lol:

Great job with the pipe run 8)

Though this radius looks a bit suspect :shock: :

What a good idea this is:

Agreed with the radius not sure why it went like that but works fine and fits in the recess perfectly 8)

Hi, ideally you should cut a hole at the lowest point to allow gas to escape if you have a leak. Im not cutting hole myself, Im of the thinking that if a full bottle emptied in the bus whilst the doors were shut i recon there would be at most an inch of gas at floor level with the camping gaz bottle i use, not good but not enough to kill anyone.
