Any one know a source for tents? also how much can you expect to pay?

Hard to find and $$$ when you do... :shock:

I've seen quite a lot of them on eBay lately, maybe you could watch there.

The "rare factor" i.e. harder to find and costly when you do, applies to the 67 and earlier split bus models. A "Big Top" Westy tent just sold for $1600 if I remember correctly. There are always two or three want ads for these on the Samba.

The external frame bay tents are certainly more abundant and easier on the pocketbook.

Here is a great site on VW tents:

Hi Jerry,
Ebay, Thesamba.com, http://www.plfvw.com/home/default.asp, swap meets, etc... As to how much it depends on which year, manufacture, type, rarity, and demand. In otherwords your questions are like asking "where and how much for a boat". You might be talking about buying a $100.00 canoe or a 100' yaught.
