In this episode we frame out the windows, finish the headboard and accent wall, and run the wires for all our outlet boxes and switches.

Shuttle buses have a lot of windows. It’s one of our favorite parts about them! That means that framing out the windows is important. We like to frame them similar to what you would see in a house, completely covered and clean looking. Shuttle bus windows are curved on the edges so we add little triangles in the corners to complete the look.

Our headboard/accent wall is finally finished after a lot of debate on the design. We went back and forth with what we should do, but in the end we let loose and let creativity take the lead! We did search around and find the blog we were talking about in the video here: https://remingtonavenue.com/diy-modern-midcentury-accent-wall-tutorial.html. We did not follow this tutorial, just took inspiration from the design.

Last was running wires through the cabinets for our outlets and switches. We cut the holes for our all the outlet boxes, switch panels, and distribution box. Drew wired everything together so that next week when we hook up the batteries and brains of the power system, everything will be ready to go at the flick of a switch!

This is our second bus build & it will be for sale when we are finished. Stay tuned for more info about that. Please DO NOT email us about commissioning or purchasing this bus. We will announce all purchasing details when the bus is finished.

We just launched our custom shop where we are offering custom fabricated shower pans. It is extremely difficult to find smaller sizes of shower pans to fit in bus and van builds. So hard that we had to make our own! We got so many questions about our shower pan that now, by popular demand, we are offering them to you. Get a custom stainless steel shower pan for your build: https://ourwaytoroam.com/product/custom-shower-pan

After living on the road for 4 years in our small camper van, we're now living in our DIY shuttle bus dream home!
We are both full time touring musicians and that is how we make a living on the road.
