Re: Willie Wilsons U320 renovations Reply #25 – November 09, 2012, 08:39:07 pm I went to the trash pile of that insulation- too much movement to install hard surface material on. Here is a photo of today: Quote Selected

Re: Willie Wilsons U320 renovations Reply #27 – November 09, 2012, 09:04:54 pm Looks nice... Ernie, since you are attaching the couch directly through the flooring, I take it that the flooring is not floating floor. Is there a substrate, or is it glued or nailed down to the subfloor? I found one of the biggest challenges with installing the floor I installed in our coach is that it is a fully floating floor and everything has to have a bit of clearance along the edges... but not too much, or when there is contraction, the trim might reveal the gap. That was another reason, besides aesthetics and the ability to do the project in stages, that we went with a horizontal layout instead of lengthwise. I wanted to keep the possible expansion contraction to a minimum. Then there is also the matter of the couch which is fastened to the subfloor right through the carpeting. I plan to just attach it to the framing in the side wall and have it rest on top of the floor... and the same with the desk that I'm going to build. Of course, my plans could always change when I actually get to that part of it... DonQuote from: erniee – November 09, 2012, 08:40:44 pmthe 2 white holes are for the couch bolts Quote Selected
Re: Willie Wilsons U320 renovations Reply #28 – November 10, 2012, 07:37:33 am The wood flooring that i install is all adhered with urethane adhesive. Makes a solid coach even better. I screw the furniture down and use the same holes as they use self tapping bolts into the cross members. Quote Selected

Re: Willie Wilsons U320 renovations Reply #34 – November 10, 2012, 10:24:25 pm Ernie, when I was doing my bathroom in ceramics I did the toilet base too, but covered over that silly grille opening in the base. It is tied into the space under shower and then into bedroom vent and I could not see the point of it. I did put a vent on the outside of coach to allow fresh air into the lower box area in case of smells. I used a fibreglass vent cover the same as what they use for washer/dryer and glued it on. I then spray painted it to match paint job pattern. Looks original, and does the job. You cannot really do any repairs thru the vent opening anyway, so another reason I did away with it.John H Quote Selected

Re: Willie Wilsons U320 renovations Reply #36 – November 12, 2012, 07:26:51 am Folks- from all the coach manufacturers that I have had a chance to work on, all of them secure furniture to the floor. If there are stand alone cabinets, they are secured to the wall with screws and to the floor, also. The shear factor in a crash would be critical if not secured to the floor. FYI Quote Selected

Re: Willie Wilsons U320 renovations Reply #41 – November 13, 2012, 12:03:57 am Ernie, I see in the photo you did not take up the chair base but fitted the wood around it. I gather once the seat is in place it really is well hidden (just a bit of a dust collection point I guess)John H Quote Selected
Re: Willie Wilsons U320 renovations Reply #42 – November 13, 2012, 07:22:50 am Willie and I looked at the bases. The co-pilot base could have been removed with a lot of extra work. I used some Kano kroil on the bolts and nuts and they were still not wanting to budge. So we left those alone. The nuts on the captains chair are hidden above the generator radiator compartment. Tearing that all apart was not an option. I'll get the info for the light fixture. Quote Selected
