Cutting holes in the side of a perfectly good bus!!

About time I posted some more pics.We carefully measured and sliced some holes in the side of our bus,The first holes were done with a holesaw,I needed to cut two holes for the new suburban furnace one for the intake and one for the exhaust.I test fitted the burner tubes and everything fit great.Finished it off by screwing on the the chrome face plate.I placed the furnace on the floor of the bus where it will be hidden under one of the dinette benches.

The 10 gallon Atwood water heater was the next appliance that required me to cut another hole in the side of the bus .This was performed with a combination of a drill, a sawzall and a grinder with a cutting wheel.Care was taken with the placement of the appliances so we didn't cut through any of the steel framework of the bus.

On the opposite side of the bus we cut another hole and fitted the Fridge access/vent door.

Here are the furnace and water heater as viewed from inside the bus

Next up is propane plumbing !!
