I would pay to see something slipped. :)

So that's a water tank that we see thru the side windows? Wonder how many thousands of pounds of water that is? For instance if it is 7 ft. x 3 ft. x 4 ft. that's 5,000 pounds just for water.

There were braces that went down to the ground to support the weight of the water. There is a tank inside up past the windows. The rear hatch folded down and was a ladder to get up into the back. Homemade foam footballs were used to trigger the dunk release.
Drive it to the show, set it up and fill it up, collect money to dunk people, drain the tank and drive it home.
Built by NuVintage in Denver Colorado.

A new television commercial here in the UK selling "Flora Buttery" from a VW bus.

Garry Rhodes has a crumpet on top of the baywindow bus, VW vans and crumpet go together very well............

I think this guy was selling a dog out of the back of this bus?

So here's my other (new) car, with sales flap:
it's for promotiontours and maybe to sell some Belgian waffels en coffee in the summer

WOW!! I lived in OB for 5 years. Moved back east a few years ago. My bus and I are missing Ocean Beach for sure!! A little colder here!

That sales flap looks like a rear hatch that was modified to go on the side??
....or is that factory? Post some more photos of the interior and mechanism that holds the door :D

There's a home brew version one like that up here in Nor Cal too.
Does the job though.

LuckyMonkeyGarage,

You are the picturemiester I swear! I absolutely love this thread! It is very inspiring and very helpful to see sooo many examples of ingenuity combined with bus ownership. I would never have imagined so much diversity. Thank you so very much for starting this thread.

PS: What inspired your name change from Ghostwagen? I asked before in the RooBar thread and never got an answer. Just curious!
