I’m putting up the plans for the bus which are to scale.

There are three to view, the first is the floor plan and the other two are side views.

I will be posting some of the current pictures of the bus so that you can see where everything will be going.

The oven will fit under the bed and will be on rollers so that it can slide out on the side of the bus. We do not want our oven inside as our previous bus had one inside. As we cook alot of stir-fries, we found that the smells and smoke hung around inside so this time cooking will be done on the outside under the caravan awning.

One of the most important items needed for travelling around Australia is a generator.

However, Sheila would probably disagree and suggest that an indoor shower and toilet is the most important!

But those practical souls among us know that without a reliable generator, none of the luxuries we like to have along with us would function.

For me, it is very important that it be reliable, affordable, good output and a good weight. I don’t want anything too heavy. Because I’m building the bus from the bottom up, I have control over how heavy the bus will be. I’ll explain later why I think it’s important to keep it light.

I’ve been investagating generators now for a couple of months and I’ve settled on the Ducar 6.5 Generator.

It’s features are:

I’ve picked one up for AUS$599.00 which I think is a good price.

After it’s been delivered and I’ve had a chance to test it out, I’ll post a review for you all.
