The inside of the refrigerator. Pretty large for an RV. Should hold lots of nice beverages and food items for our ramblings. Installing this in to the space was interesting because RV refrigerators have very specific rear and top ventilation requirements or they don't cool properly.

The shot down the hallway. There is no artificial light here, the skylights and bus windows are providing all of the light in this shot. I told you I didn't need those lousy bus windows. After installing the textured wallpaper to all of the walls, I used a colored caulk to seal all of the seams and corners.

The completed entryway with grab bar, clock and wallpaper. The dash is also covered with the same vinyl as the bed bumpers. The wallpaper, trim and caulk give the bus a very finished look.

The shower. It is filthy on the floor because I was tromping around inside while I caulked the seams with silicone and installed all of the fixtures and drains. I got the shower from a place called McMaster-Carr online. It had a solid plastic bottom tray and flexible plastic walls. I had to modify the walls to match the curvature of the bus roof.

The turlet. Note the extra TP in the cabinet above and the nifty little sprayer thingy. The toilet is installed directly above the black water tank (one of those plastic 55 gallon drums) the drain goes directly down into the tank - it is a straight shot to the tank through a 4 inch hole in the floor. It was a challenge to create a seal in the curved top of the tank for the down pipe.

The door to the toilet. It doesn't take up any room in the bathroom or hallway when it is open. The little bit of space the door does take up when it is opened hides the blackwater tank air vent pipe that comes up through the floor and continues up through the roof.
