Easy to clean, will wake you right up in the morning if you are barefoot.  ;D

Nothing like the feel of wood or carpet on bare feet.  Tile is very heavy and cold in comparison.  Good Luck, TomC

I don't understand the attraction of marble, granite, tile in a bus.  Why weigh down the bus with luxury materials that aren't designed for a  mobile platform and then worry about the cost of fuel to drag it all around?  I focus on light weight to the greatest extent possible.

Good point Bevans6. When I stripped my bus out, I weighed it.  It weighed 28,000lbs.  Now with the conversion completely done, with myself and wife in the bus with full tanks, it weighs 31,000lbs.  So I added 3,000lbs to the bus.  Not quite like some others I read about that their buses weigh sometimes pushing 50,000lbs!  With fuel prices going only up, trying to make a lite weight conversion should be on everyones minds.  Good Luck, TomC
