I have a shorty bus, Ford E450, 22 feet... I think. 14 feet from behind the driver and 13 feet from the door well. Bus is 7.5 feet wide.
I will NOT be taking up all of the rubber floor and the rails that are used to anchor the benches. I will be using two benches for a dinnette and they must have something solid to attach to. This will give me legal passenger space for 4 adults. I will remove some of the hardware but not much more than flashing.
I have 3 10x4 foot sheets of 3/4 inch polyiso. I can trim 6 inches off of the long side of one panel and can lay them side by side lengthwise along the bus. The last panel will be turned 90 degrees to finish of the last 4x7.5 feet of flooring.
1) which would you put up front? The sideways panel or the two side by side?
2) How would you attach/affix/glue the polyiso to the floor?
3) Foil side down?
I am planning on simply laying 4x7.5 foot pieces of plywood on top of the polyiso. My basic intention, if at all feasible is to sand, stain and clear coat/polyurethane and be done. I'm good with rugs and being able to sweep with a broom and mop.
1) How do you keep the seams from coming apart? There will be three seams that will be under foot. How do you keep the panels from shifting?
2) I hear lots of people talk about leaving room for expansion along the walls. How much? How important is this really?
3) Odd sized piece along the front step or at the rear under the bed? Bed will be along back wall of bus.
4) How do you affix the plywood to the polyiso? Do you?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.
