Today we trimmed the excess spray foam and began applying the innermost layer of insulation (foil-faced cotton batt, 3/8" thick). This will serve as both a radiant barrier and a vapor barrier.
We also purchased materials for building boxes around the wheel humps. These will allow us to build cabinets (or whatever structures) over them without having to deal with the curved top.

Looking aft.
All seams are taped wih 3" wide aluminum tape.
Trivia time: It takes 16' 20" of Bonded Logic Insulator to cover a 4'-wide arc of the bus interior.
The bottom edge of the insulation is foil-taped to the rail. (The rail protrudes about 1.25" from the wall. It is part of the same piece of metal that forms the floor. This rail supported the outboard side of the school bus seats.)
The vapor barrier on the floor (under the plywood) has been trimmed and foil-taped to the wall.
Looking forward.
We ran out of construction adhesive just as we ran out of daylight.
