I remember when Popular Mechanics offered/sold the plans for building these.
I am more interested today than I was 30 years ago in these. |

brentphnx,
I'll be headed to your neck of the woods in early June. That Campbug is for sale local to me...
Send me a check and I'll pick it up and deliver it to ya!! Then you can swap it over to a Thing body! lol
Looks better with the Thing front end. The curves of the bug and the boxiness of the camper just don't jive... |

| Somehow that just doesn't look safe - short wheelbase with a high center of gravity. |

The word "fugly" comes to mind; but it doesn't change the fact that I want one...the Thing version of course.
But if I built one, would I have to move the fuel filler to the driver's side? |

Yes.
Or you can mirror the building plans... :idea: |

That is certainly true, I almost flipped in a couple during the VietNam war! |
