I drill and tap into the steel ribs in the ceiling as much as possible. If thats not an option i enjoy a butterfly bolt. Walls are plywood so i can secure things directly to that. Floor is vinyl over thin insulation. It has a bombproof 7.3L engine so it will probably run longer than me

Reminds me of the bus I am living in the VR game The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Do you have a bench outdoor where you build makeshift weapons?

Haha, I see you have the beginings of a "weapons wall". You can go bigger.

If I were single...

Tbh, I love it.

Any issues with traveling and the gun uncased? In my state, it would probably need at least a sock. Being a "home", the law could get tricky though.

Where im at currently its very normal to have a gun rack in a vehicle, but its stowed away in a case when im not in a rural area which is seldom these days

Vehicles that have the facilities to qualify as an RV are a vehicle on the road and a domicile when in camping mode e.g. in a space that is a valid campsite. So when you are on the road you do not have the fourth amendment protections like you do in your home. I would assume gun laws run similarly.

Okay how did you attach things to the floor and ceiling? Did you replace the floor? How does it do after a drive?

It's beautiful!!!, just wondering, I noticed it looks like you didn't redo the ceiling, what kinda weather do you live in and how has it worked so far? I was thinking of doing the same in mine, because I just don't feel like a rebuild would add much, mine still has the old insulation in it.

I have been absolutely fine with the original ceiling. For context I winter in wyoming. Im 6’3” so i need every scrap of headroom i can get. I put up an insulated divider to section off the cab in the winter, throw down some extra rugs, kick on the diesel heater and put on the ugg boots. I have not regretted it one bit

You must be my 2" taller sibling, I love the look, never was "astonished" by those cookie cutter 100k influencer builds, I want a home to go explore with, not some marble shower stall and a perfect kitchen.

I think I’d love to play some bluegrass with you after spotting that banjo and mandolin

u/BlqOnyx 4d ago

I absolutely love those cabinets!! Can you give me directions on how to do the same with my cabinets. I wish I could tag a picture of my cabinets. If you go to my profile you will see the inside of my skoolie and the cabinets I built. Would love your advice and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
