Building Betsy // Part 20 // The Interior

- It's time for the INTERIOR!
On this part of Building Betsy - We work our way from the ground up, install the floor, walls, bed, bathroom and kitchen.
This has been the part that we've looked forward to the most and with the pressure of having a national TV show (Spasie) coming around to film the old girl - It pushed us to get things done.
The original plan for the kitchen wastewater was to divert it to our grey water system. After giving it some thought, we decided that a separate tank would work much better as gunk from the sink would have clogged up the grey water pump and flushing the toilet (using the greywater) would mean using filthy water - not ideal...
Another simple solution to an otherwise expensive accordion boot rubber was found - worked great!

Hi guys, what a surprise running into you at the @Innibos festival yesterday. It was great meeting you.
Betsy is even looking beter in real life as in the videos.
I must confess I went back for second look later. 😊
Hey Karel. It was such a pleasure meeting you. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I'm really hoping you get that bus going again. Keep in touch, and thanks for the great compliment!
Your build is coming along very nicely. May I ask what the interior ceiling height is?
Good morning! I'll take a measurement for you today, but I'm pretty sure it's around 2170mm, could be slightly less. I'll get back to you on that.
You can use a rectangular rubber bellow in between the cab and the body
Impressive. I seen the lady both sitting and lying dpown on the job.
Another wonderful & inspiring vid! We have an exciting week ahead, hoping to fit Paul's torsion free system tomorrow, will send Pics!
Hey Paul.
Can't wait to see your system on Noami. You've got the version 2.0 so it should be even better than ours.
We've spent 4 nights in Betsy now - over the moon! See you in Jbay soon
CONGRATS ON SO MUCH AWESOME PROGRESS!!! ITS 11PM HERE IN IDAHO U.S.A. AND I WANTED TO SEE THIS BEFORE SLEEPTIME. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC CREW AND HELPERS, PLUS SPONSORS.... GOD BLESS!!! I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU GET ON THE ROAD FOR ADVENTURES... YOU DESERVE A GOOD VACATION. PEACE YA ALL!
Always great to hear from you!
You always send positive vibes our way, thank you for following and enjoying the journey with us. Getting on the road on the 1st of August! Still got some sweat to spend, but well worth it! Hope you have an awesome day!
Great video again. You guys are sooo close to completion! Good luck for the last stretch.
Thank you very much. We're at our first event with Betsy, so officially moved in and we're very pleased with our little home. Really everything we dreamed it would be. Haven't got the water heater connected yet, so we're basically camping, but the sweat has definitely been worth it
Great job guys!
Thank you!
It's been a while since your last video. However well worth the wait. You guys are so close to being done. Those cabinets look well-built and great. floor looks great. keep up the great work. Paul, Vancouver Canada.
Hey Paul, thank you. They are definitely strong enough, but only time will tell if everything holds up. I'm quite glad that we went for Melaply instead of chip board. It's slightly on the heavier side, but we built the structure to accommodate the weight. Thank you again for always commenting positive feedback and following. Hope you have a great one!
Awesome
Awesome job on the truck, your farm and crew look so inviting! One quick suggestion if it's not too late. Don't connect your ceiling directly to your metal studs as it will promote condensation. Use a buffer (12mm wood strips) between your studs and ceiling material to avoid thermal bridges. Otherwise your build keeps moving in the right direction and love seing all the updates!
Hi there, Apologies for not getting back to you. The comment came too late haha! we had the ceiling in by the time (we're a bit delayed with the videos) and we've been living in the truck for more than a month now. Going well, no issues so far when it comes to the interior, but it was a great suggestion, and I'll let everyone that follow in the footsteps to add it to the list. Hope you're well and your truck is running healthy!
@@NuminousExpeditions Good to hear you've already been living in it for weeks! Most be quite the feeling! Enjoy!!!
Looks Great. I will await your completion.
Coming soon!
Well done Robin and Yolande 🎉
