Back onto the camping interior now that the rag is pretty much done
Had a slight change of plans with using outdoor furniture cushions for the couch set up
Square cushion on the bottom are 750 mm square so a bit more width on the sleeping set up
At this stage only accommodating single sleeping
Will be easy to add to it if by a small remote chance the wife comes on any Vw trips

I think the problem you blokes are having with your wives is easily fixed & not a new conundrum. Take it from someone whose consultation process has been flawed on at least 3 splitty purchases. I took calculated risks & spent 3 weeks sleeping in the kids cubby house as a result.
How did I turn it around & get my wife involved?
Easy, when punters come up & start talking to you about your bus, simply tell them it is your wifes bus.
All of a sudden they’re engaged, taking ownership & answering all sorts of questions about it that you previously thought went in one ear & out the other.
Trust me it works a charm.

That’s funny
I feel if I say it her bus she might just say it’s forsale then

To be honest my wife has probably slept in my 63 bus over 100 times on various outings and in our younger days
I just feel the closer we get to 50 in age the less the stars will align for this to happen, although at least I might be able to sell idea of been able to be in bed and look at the stars
