Very nice job. Looks like your getting a lot of use out of the pocket drill jig. ;)

Nice job looks good.  I also notice your front heater lines go around the wheel well close to the floor, mine go up and over never realized they changed.

Looks good Brandon!

Nice fit on the ceiling too.

Never used a pocket jig though. Will have to get one when I do the cabinets.

Great job.

Nice workmanship!   
  I'll put my order in early.....I get the top bunk (so I can look at the night stars).


   A simple minded question.........When one covers up the windows with items like the bunks
  in the pictures..............what does one do if the windows start to leak or even better yet
  how does one even know that there is a leak? (before any damage) just something I've
  wondered about for the last couple of years......


   Thanks

In my case I made the panels that cover the windows easily removeable for inspection. The panels are 1/4" covered with vinyl and have insulation behind them.

Very good job, the fit and finish look great, if you want, you can get the plugs to fill the screw holes and it'll further enhance the job you did, I like the fit along the ceiling, you did a great job with it, thats one of the hardest areas to properly fit.  Are you going to add piping to the ceiling line to further compliment it, piping is easy to do, just take 3/16 in rope and find a matching color vinyl and wrap it and ease it and glue it in the seam between the panel and where it meets the wall or ceiling, it's often easier to staple it in place along the hidden edge of the panel before it is abbuted to the wall or ceiling but is still easily inserted afterwards, it tend to add a finishing touch to the seam, using a contrasting color sometimes creates an eye catching decorating concept. Again, good job on it.

I have been making an attempt to look ahead while planning the interior.  One thing I am doing is making things accessible and not installing too many permanent obstacles.

Cody:  I am going to put something similar to what you described to finish the bunk/ceiling area.  Most of the pocket screw holes will be covered when I am finished.  Thanks for the compliments.

I'm in Michigan all this week but I'll be back to work on the bus next week.  Kitchen Cabinets and the bathroom are up next.  I'll post the pics when I get underway.

Sweet. I am a huge fan of the bunks and I installed 6 in my bus. There is nothing like sleeping in a bunk! - Greg
