gut floor or cover floor?

[Darkspeed]

The best advice I can give is mark all the areas that have nothing directly beneath them and cut those out first! It makes it so much easier.

Jigsaw
Sawsall
Hole saw
Pneumatic chisel
Cutoff Wheel
Respirator and goggles! some of those floors have nasty materials / chemicals in them.

I was going to replace the floor on my transit until I discovered it was 1" plywood with 1/4" rubber mat bonded to it. I knew I couldn't redo that kind of floor, so it stayed. The rubber matt has been good preserving the floor from a couple of leaks at times. Just another reason the bus weighed 28,000lbs stripped before I started converting. It weighs now 31,000lbs wet with everything with my wife and I in it. With a 36,000lb gvw, we're still a long way from overloading it. Good Luck, TomC

thank you all for your wisdom in this. the bus has been gutted and we are heading up to pick up a 26 foot camper from my In-laws. they do not used it anymore so this is what we are doing and let me know if this is a cool idea. we are going to throw a new floor in the bus and gut the camper and use the guts from the camper inside the bus. I was going to buy everything from a rv junk yard, but i was looking over 3 times the amount I paid for the bus. so we will have a working stove fridge sink toilet and everything else in the bus from the camper. it was just a nice way to save money. then we can take the camper and make it into a toy hauler. any thoughts on that? it's just me doing this with a lot of wife supervision. I plan on having the floor in by next weekend though. then the build can begin..

Huggy has the insides from a Holiday camper inside her.

Still seems to work good about 15 years later.
