Does anyone have thoughts on using tile on the floors, and on the walls of the shower? I know the bus has some flex, but not sure if it's enough to crack tile and or grout. 1977 MC-8 | ||

I am quite happy with the flat surface FRP (?) material I have in my Sam Caylor conversion. It dries clean without mildew. The tile is tuff enuff to keep clean in the house, My wife should not have to tell me to clean the bus shower as well.... Good Luck | ||

This is but one decision you will have to make in hundreds on a camper. Is lack of ongoing maint and EZ ability to maintain a goal, or is eye candy living ? Your way? FF | ||

We have a litle over 42,000 miles on our bus with ceramic tile shower, counter tops, backsplashes and bathroom floor. No problems so far. Email me if want photos or additional information. Jack | ||

As others have said, do this your way. The tile we have used at home is without a "hard & glazed" finish needing more frequent cleanings. It looks great and clean vs a plain white enclosure. Go for it. Gary | ||

OK so I have the bus gutted from front to back including the restroom in the rear. I removed the linoleum down to the original wood floors to check for anything that may have rotted; every thing looked great according to the writing on the wood it was replaced in 2001. I went a head and put "Fatmat" over the existing floor, and then 1/4" OSB over the top of that just as an extra sound barrier, and it made a huge difference in motor & generator noise. I am ready to start the building process, and I’m going to start in the rear of the bus, and work my way forward. My question is; as I am building, and get ready to put my walls up (I will be using plywood, and then having them covered in a veneer) how do I attach the wall to the ceiling of the bus to make it stable? |
