Thread: I've gone and done it.

Type Trimtastic into Google Maps. Forecourt will easily accomodate.

If you have an outside toilet,you will have more room inside

Maybe it is really a bathtub,seems better called a sink.

What about the local school,they might take the seats.

Ian, it's hard to tell from the pics, but is the aisle lower than the seat areas like on most coaches? If it is, I can see why your plans are the way they are, but if the floors flat, or can be made flat have you thought about running the aisle down one side rather than through the middle? Might make designing the layout a bit easier, although I don't mind your first draft - I'm just thinking out load here.

Carry on, I'm living vicariously through you on this one - I'd love to convert a coach like this.

To be honest, I thought there'd be a jacuzzi in the plan.

Dual purpose,jacuzzi/sink

Looking at the 1:300 scale there is heaps of room

I wish the floor was flat, it'd make it easier and more flexible. The aisle is sunken 120 mm between the chassis rails. I have revolved the plan round the shower, which will have to be sunken into the bins. For ease of plumbing I will probably move the sink east.
On the, as yet, undesigned side I have to juggle a wardrobe, table and seats.
There appears to be plenty of room for a lounge too.
I already mentioned there looks like being enough room for a spa.
I would like to run 240 V for all but hot water, and have to discuss the feasibility of such, with Tim Drivesafe. I am researching the combined draw before I phone him, so as not to waste his time.

Ian, just a quick thought for you.
My plan was to have the bathroom and toilet opposite each other with entrances through to the bedroom, which like yours was at the back. This gives a certain amount of privacy, for women mostly, if you have guests visiting.
My kitchen was on the same side as the shower, with the hot (gas instant) water between the two to save on heating distance etc. Tiolet was only to have a cold tap, thus no need to run the hot water to that side of the bus. This also meant you could have a door at that wall which separates the two zones. The fridge and washing machine and pantry cupboards were on the other side to the actual kitchen. This created a cooking type zone, although I had no wall as it gave the illusion of being bigger without one.
This set up, left heaps of room for the front third, so to speak, of the bus to allow for a full size lounge, eating table, tv unit etc.
