Oney has lived in his bus for 37 years. |

Table with fold up end will seat eight in a pinch. Permanent benches with storage areas underneath surround table. Oney puts extra pads on the bench and table to make a driver's seat. Sleeping loft with curtains above. Super cozy, super functional, super homey! |

Rear doors are two very narrow 'french' doors. The upper loft windows on either side are beds. A one-person wood fired hot tub also occupies the rear floor area. |
|
Above, Kitchen includes matching recycled quart and pint jars. French tempered glass service for eight. A food processor is the only 110 volt appliance. The 5 gallon jug is the only water supply for the kitchen. Another pressurized water system serves the toilet and shower only. Right, Ship's stove, a type no longer made. He can't say enough good about it. Under cabinet area to the left is wood storage. A one-burner propane hot plate is installed for fast jobs. |

| Here, Oney's bus is on it's third total rebuild. Before this, his bus looked just like Jonathan's, in fact, Jonathan copied Oney's bus measurement for measurement. Midships in the roof is a functional deck, constructed of marine plywood. |  |
