I think I have it now, hopefully it works. ;D

Thanks for the pics, Ruthi. Looks like you all are doing a good job.
I noticed that you took your extra space above the windows. I can certainly see the advantages of that. We took our extra below the windows.
God bless,

Pardon my ignorance but what is the proedure. I can see body work on the right rear corner of the bus. Is it a matter of cutting all that secure the top, raising, welding int he extension and new panels down the side?
Yep, here is a couple of before pics. After all that, there are no caps for a Dina, so we had to fiberglass in the opening in the back and the front.

That is good stuff right there. Seems like it would be a fun project.
It has been an adventure, for sure, although a little daunting at times. We will be starting the inside when we get home in November. We have already spent many hrs trying to figure out the floor plan. If it were just for the 2 of us, it would be easy. But, we have to figure in the space for 2 other guys who work with us, so, it complicates things a little.
Piece of cake, Ruthi.
Here is the scoop. You only need one set of bunks (make it to where you can do a triple bunk, if you want). Then you have a bedroom in the back for you all (remember, there are a lot more of us, then just four people, so we have ours a lot tighter). Then you split the bathroom up; sink, shower, and washroom all separate. Couches up front, and a nice seat for you and hubby, and you are rolling.
Now if you want some fun, tell the guys that are going with you that they will have the pull out couch up front, and they can sleep together ;D. ;D ;D.
God bless,
John
John, all together isnt in the cards for us. Right now, in our current bus, we have a middle bedroom with 2 bunks in there. bunks are up high, and drawers, etc underneath. One bunk is high enough to sit up and watch tv, the other one isnt. Thing is,we are on the road most of the year, so, it has to be as comfortable as possible for everyone. So, with that in mind, we want separate areas. The guys have a tv, games, etc installed in their bunks, with curtains. They hang out in there mostly when we arent working, so we need to make it comfortable. Hubby and I are usually up front. We want to keep it so we arent in each others way, or getting on each others nerves. Works out good. We kind of wanted a side isle in the new bus, but we will see. I am also putting in a washer and dryer in the new bus, and a large size fridge. So, it is a challenge, but we will figure it out.
John, how many are there? How often are you in the bus?
