Motorhome fit out

It’s bedroom time

Time to start fitting out the bedroom

Starting from the back of the coach to the front is the only way to go. Under the bed area is where the motor is, so the floor has a raised part, this is a great place to put in bedroom cupboards. With nothing being square or plum apart from the floor I was making it up as I went along. It’s nothing like building a house!

The back bedroom wall before we started
Lots of flat pack cupboard boxes to make up from Bunnings.
Plains? Who needs plains….
First one done and lots more to go.
The bed should fit between the two bedside draws.
One bit at a time, this cover goes on so more draws can go on top.
These two tall ones will have shelves.
Back to Bunnings for more stuff.
Time to put some support in place and insulation before I go too far.
One more box and this level will be done.
The fun of making boxes up.
With the black timber in place it only just fitted after shaving the back edges off the side boxes.
One more level after this one.
They only just made it in after Shaving off some timber.
No turning back now time to screw it in place.
A very tight fit.
More boxes to make up for the top level
Almost there.
We are getting closer.

Time for some sparky stuff

At this stage it was time to run some 12 volt cables for the LED lights as well as some USB chargers on either side of the bed. We need some speaker cables put in as well for the stereo that was going to go in later on. We are not running 240 volt in the bedroom as there is nothing we can think of that we need it for down this section of the bus so 240 volt is it .

All the power cables for the lights, USB charges and the stereo speakers are in. Lets hope that is all of it.

 

Time to fit in the down light before I go to far.
Holes are in place.
LED Lights are in place.
12v cables are in place as well as the insulation.
You can turn the LED lights any colour you like.
Now the led light strip in place and all powered up.

I have some fiddle bits of trim around the cupboards, which will be done later on when we get some other work out of the way first. All we have to do now is fit the draw runners on before putting the draws.

We have not decided what we actually want the walls to look like, there has been some ideas floating around but nothing that really makes us confident to want to finish them now. So I will be tidying up the bedroom walls with more ply where all the power cables run and then painting them till we find what kind for finish we are looking for.
