Keep in mind, I'm no carpenter, but we have enjoyed learning. It fits our lifestyle and we are happy. :lol: It doesn't hold a candle to some out there, but it's been a labor of love and sometimes blood, sweat and tears! ;)

Paul,
If you would not have said you are no carpenter, you would have fooled me. Very nice job!!!
I do all the finish work on my houses and I'm impressed.
Keep up the good work ;)

Paul I knew and saw your bus before YOU owned it as you know and what a difference! Great Job in and out!
I was planning on a video on my coach too but I was gonna wait until I was finished... LOL
Very nice job, Paul.
Ace, people ask me "when will you finish with your bus?" I tell them "Depends on what you mean by finished -- "finished 1" is when I can drive, use it and enjoy it and have a bed, a toilet, a place to shower and a place to cook; "finished 2" is when it looks good inside; and "finished 3" is when I die!"
Looks really well done Paul. Does the front TV stow for travel or does it stay where it is?

Lin, When we had it mounted up front I tried it two ways. Bunged it and removed it and put it on the bed. I prefer to remove it, only takes a minute or two. I just feel safer that way. While our Eagle rides so smooth I was surprised at how little it moved, only on tight corners I noticed some movement.
Paul
Paul,
What a great video, I enjoyed seeing your bus in video form and is a great idea for others to do. Pictures is nice but to see it as you filmed it is so much better. Great workmanship, I Know the pride you have in your Eagle and it sure shows. Still looking forward to meeting one of the greats of our bb'ds.
Safe travel to you and Becky.

Beautiful coach Paul and Becky....
Paul & Becky
Very, Very nice job.
Good luck and travel safe.
phil & deb
that is very nice, since hubby is doing ours, I realize how much work you have in that! Great job!!!!!
Looking good Paul lot of difference than the first time I saw it setting on the side of the road in CA in 2005 or 06 (I am told) on your way to Texas,fwiw I thought to myself this guy will never finish this bus lol
good luck
Very nice! I hope when I get to that stage with my own I can do as nice a job!

Beautiful work done on the inside. This is something to be very proud of. What did you use for wall coverings?
I like the idea of showing video footage of interiors. It gives me an idea of what I like and what I don't. Plus, if you don't get to many rallies, this can also help with ideas. I would love to see videos of other interiors and exteriors.

TT, We used a white tile board for the walls. Not sure if I would do it that way again or not. It is very easy to clean though. I cleaned the ceiling with Pledge Multi Surface yesterday and it worked like a charm. We did sand down the panels in the bedroom and my wife painted them white and used a sponged roller to add the blue. She said it looked too much like a hospital! ;)
It seems we just keep experimenting with ideas! ;D
Paul
Very nice! Nice work, you have learned what works and what does not.great job. i have followed your build from pics,but the video brings it all together. the use of the tin panels from the backsplash in the bedroom works well.
Hey Paul, you have given me so many compliments and how you would like to be able to do the same, well i've got news for you........you have accomplished what many wish they could, and the carpentry is first rate and the use of space is amazing! Well done, when I'm finished maybe mine will be as nice as yours! Thanks for the video......oh before I go......i noticed when you went out side at the end of the tour, the noise from the airplane shows how nice and quiet it is in your bus......again well done.
Pat
Very Very nice Paul & Becky you have a really nice Home , Thanks for sharing

Paul,
You guys did a really nice job, thanks for sharing. Mines never been setting on the road, still in the driveway unfinished! LOL!!!!!!
Pat, We have all kinds of air traffic around here. You were hearing a new C130J that Dyess AFB has acquired, I think they now have 4. They still have several of the C130H's around, and of course the B-1. Now that's an airplane! 8)
Thanks for the comments everyone!
Paul
ALL RIGHT PAUL
I see that you have a small space for eating? I Have not put in a table yet and was thinking of building a fold down table if needed. What are your thoughts on needing a table? We very seldom use the one we have in our house.
John
i love the way you used every inch, like the toaster oven and the jewelery box and medicine cabinets. great looking bus.
Mark
Thanks for sharing that with us. You have done a very nice job. Looks good.
Thanks for sharing this walk-around tour. Nice to see how everything fits together. Really quality work throughout, you are to be congratulated.
Do you have a floor-plan somewhere? I looked through your blog and couldn't see one. I'd like to see on paper how it all lays out.
I'm also sending you a PM.
Thanks again,
Mike
Mike H, I received your PM and sent you a reply.
I did make up a floor plan on some 1/4" grid paper and had it posted on the wall as I went along. It all worked out fairly close to my original plan, but did end up making some modifications along the way. I even kept it! I thought I had it posted, but maybe not. I did make up one that was not too scale, it was in the BCM January 2010 article on our coach.
If you're interested, send me a PM with some contact information and I'll forward you a pdf of it.
Thanks!
Paul
