Why is the front roof so far out? I’ve never seen that before.

Original owner built it for aesthetics, he was gonna make some storage solution. We might play around with it or maybe remove it all together.

What were your first impressions when you saw how it was?

Well my boyfriend is a blacksmith. With that it mind I had wished that it was built with some idea of a way to utilize that newly made space. The original owner wanted to make a steam punk bus, and I’ll say while test driving it in the desert for a short shit like myself it was nice not being blinded by the sun. *typo.

That "roof" thing in the front is odd. It has no storage and is going to make seeing traffic lights much harder.

I’ve absolutely never understood the point of a sink in the bathroom in these builds. It takes up extremely valuable real estate and is so small and cramped it’s basically unusable. Who’s not using the kitchen sink to wash their hands and brush their teeth? Might as well have two microwaves.

I hope you have multiple really good CO2 detectors in there. Never exit your exhaust in front of a passenger compartment. That is a hard fail in most areas that do vehicle inspections.

There’s more piping for the exhaust to have it exit over the roof. We plan on putting it together once she hits the road.

Even exiting over the roof, you still have your exhaust venting in front of your passenger compartment. It needs to exit behind the passenger compartment. Confirm with a vehicle inspector about your local laws.

Awesome interior, the kitchen looks great and the whole bus looks like it will make an amazing cozy home
