Water Works



After building the framework for the bed and kitchenette, we installed the plumbing. We placed the fresh water tank underneath the bed and added the pump and two filters.  We connected the grey tank beneath the bus.


For power, we connected a 1000 watt power converter to the existing wires used to power the once-installed wheelchair lift, giving us AC power. In the near future, we will install AC power outlets for shore power.


The composting toilet has been put in and the exhaust fan hooked up.


We secured the tankless water heater on the back door and rigged the propane tank beneath the bus. Our outdoor shower is running and it's hot! In the future, the shower head will be secured, but we'll do that after we build the back deck.


Meanwhile, I built a cedar headboard and installed lots of hooks on the back side so we will be able to hang stuff.


Everything Including the Kitchen Sink

After determining the configuration, we started building. It didn't take long for us to put everything together. We secured all the furniture to the frame using quick release locks so it can be easily removed.

We built a full size lift bed.

Turned a Craigslist find into a kitchenette. 

 




And constructed two benches that come together to create another bed.
