Just curious, as I was digging through the Gallery and found a picture of the window of a bus covered in stickers. I've seen that before, and it seems like some bus owners like to express themselves through the decals on their bus. I was thinking of doing this on the side window that the cabinet covers. What do you have?

i have stickers all over the wooden headliner in the cab of my westy. that way i see them all the time when i'm driving. also solves the problem of the 'right to search' stickers commonly found on busses. (my favorite in my collection i could never put on the outside of my bus, a picture of a bong with the caption 'i love my tobacco water pipe.')

My personal opinion is that too many stickers starts to make a bus look cheesy.
However...some buses really suit copius amounts of stickers :lol:

We only have ONE sticker on our bus...and its our buses name.

I do not understand what possesses people to cover their vehicle with bumper stickers. No one wants to sit there for ten minutes reading all your stickers.

If you cant express yourself with five stickers or less, youre scatterbrained. Got something to say? Make the message short and powerful.

On the back: 5 inch white Hunter S. Thompson "GONZO" dagger logo, bumper sticker that says "We can't stop here, this is bat country, A 3 inch Beatles Yellow Submarine.
On the Drivers side rear window, 5 Inch green Radiohead bear head logo, Bi-State VW club sticker
On the Passengers side: Small oil spot shaped black sticker that reads "Volkswagens don't leak oil, they mark their spot.

I'm hoping to fill up some more space with national parks and route 66 stickers this summer on the road.

Peace through Superior Firepower, "Alte Blau" surrounding
a VW symbol, Air Combat Command, old Montana travel sticker,
and "Save The Bays" sticker.

These are my favorites so far, I could use a "Save the Bays" though.

That's the "melvan" from New Mexico. I met the old owners at our local show on LI a few years ago. Sadly, the gentleman passed away and his wife ended up selling the bus on here.

Sorry Steponmebbbboom, I exceeded your limit :)

I was going for the old woodie surf theme.
