Discuss Renovating a double decker help needed in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

Why do u say that? Is there something wrong with the electrics or the way I've done it as it will be driven to its final destination when I've finished and that's a few 100 miles
 
On mobile units you need to consider the vibration when moving. This generally means that you need to use a cable with fine flexible cores rather than solid cores.
 
Sounds like this is no different to a static caravan which is made in one place and transported to a site. They use solid core t&e whereas a touring caravan uses flex
 
I didn’t think it was going to be used as a mobile home. A lot of caravan sites have height restriction beams, and a double decker bus would be tricky to get in.

Is there a reason the internal walls are made from quite heavy and thick wood?
Static caravans for example are maybe only 1” square frame and thin plywood.

I'm assuming it's for the appearance that that type of wood has been used.

It's going on a site to be used for family when they come and visit also the wood is cls and thought it would allow more room for installation and cables as will be used all year round

That round junction box is not suitable to be located where it cannot be accessed. And it would need fastening down anyhow as there is no cable support/strain relief.
