The bus was put on hold during the holiday season, so we were excited to start working on it again. We have changed a few things about the layout but feel like we have a pretty solid plan now and have decided to block in a couple windows where the shower will be, where our closet will be, and the two back windows where our "garage" will be. We also covered the emergency flashers since we weren't going to use them and from what we have gathered, there are some legal issues with having them if the bus is no longer used for commercial purposes.
To attach the sheet metal, we laid out 2" centers on both sides and bottom of each sheet and predrilled 3/16" holes. Then each sheet was lifted and tacked into place with a few self tapping 3/16" screws and then predrilled all the holes in the bus for the rivets. The same method was used to cover the emergency flashers, except we used 22 gage metal. We used a thicker gage metal for the windows because the openings were larger and we didn't want the steel on the sides to look wavy at any point.
