Converting a Bus To A Recreational Vehicle at Oz Caravan World

Описание: Converting a bus can be incredibly fun when you have the opportunity to work with fabulous customers, who can clearly articulate their needs and then are willing to consider design solutions to achieve them.

When we first met our customers Graeme and Robyn, they asked us to run the 240 electrical wiring, 12V lines, water and gas, add some windows and build the internal walls of the bus for them. Once completed, they were planning to do the rest of the conversion themselves.

After the second meeting and some exposure to the Oz Caravan World team, they were comfortable in handing the entire internal fit out to Oz Caravan World and then managing the external paint themselves.

Being a large conversion over several months, we held several meetings at various stages to discuss progress, consider any opportunities or challenges and discuss our options. This process was well received by Graeme and Robyn who were always delighted to be given options and complete transparency.

The conversion was extremely challenging due to height restrictions and the existing structural condition of the bus. Considerable time was allocated to getting the structure right and having a sound wall structure to build all the internal fit out. Retaining access to underside of bus componentry was challenging particularly given the location to the bedroom.

The next challenge was getting sufficient space on the roof to accommodate the bus air con, new air con, solar panels, vents, satellite dish and more.

Overall, the team at Oz Caravan World, really enjoyed this conversion. We hope you enjoy the video which shows what can be achieved when our customers work in collaboration with our design team, to maximise the space, and create a recreational vehicle that brings the comforts of home, on the road around beautiful Australia.
