"After" Shots (Part 1)


I had been working on a blog post when I realized that although I had posted the "Before" Photos, I failed to post the "After" Photos.

Please excuse the poor quality cell phone shots, but they will do.

Here is my little virtual tour of our bus. I will start with the things that I neglected to include the first time around. Then I will continue with a "front to back" tour of how the bus looks now.

This was the "questionable" mural on the back. I was NOT a fan. The seller kept telling us that "The Wizard" did it. I wanted to tell him just where the Wizard should go.


This is my view driving behind the bus. We got an Auto Trim place to design and put a "wrap" over the mural. It will be very durable, but we can take it off. I LOVE this. Same B we used for our monogram for our wedding stationery.
Many people are perplexed on how to get into the bus, as it has an airtight lock. Well, see this cool, unassuming button? Yep. Push it!

This is what you see when you open the door of the bus. On the left are two fire extinguishers, on the rights is a "stair light" so you can see when you step up. Notice the original stainless steel guiderails on either side. And a glimpse of the driver's seat.



The view when you get to the top of the stairs, looking back at the door. I just love the original features of this bus!

This is a bird's eye view of the driver's seat. It feels weird to sit here, so many different buttons that I just want to push.

Some of the buttons. I wanted to get a shot of the original "PA system" that would've been used when the bus was a passenger coach.
This shows the backup camera and some of the stereo system components, Also the cb!

Some other cool features- the door handle (yes, it actually swings!). And the original fan that works like defrost.
This is the passenger seat. I have my own little cupholder (just to the left). If I put the armrest up, Carson can sit with me too. A perfect view through the huge windshield.
View from the front, all the way to the very back.
Some pillow covers and a throw from Ikea. This couch is super comfy.

Across from the couch, I have two ottomans for toys and to use as side tables. You can pull it over to the couch or the chair. Flip over the top and its perfect for a footrest while you are on the couch, or an extra seat at the end of the dinette.
These are some technical things and gages. I know the top left is the generator. I have no idea about the other ones.


Well, that is all for now- we are HALF done all of the photos of the bus. Next post will have kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.

Thanks for reading!

  1. Great job here, Jen! You've highlighted a lot of the unique aspects of the bus! It's cool to read your blog now that I've actually been on the bus. Looking forward to your future posts! And by the way, the "B" so beats those palm trees on the back window! Lynn
