The passenger's side of the cab. The door is an actual, genuine, 100%-made-for-a-vehicle RV door from RV Surplus and Salvage.

The Icy Sanctuary

I bought a bus on eBay for $660. I tore it down, I rebuilt it into a home and now I live in it.

Finish Painting III

This was one of the largest jobs on the bus. The painting is almost done; there is mostly just detail work left. I also need to build an antenna platform, and reinstall my solar array.

Kitchen Sink

The kitchen (see the floorplan) is set on top of the rear wheels, forward of the bathroom and aft of the main area. It's about 80 ft2, or a third of my total floor area.
