bought '61 bus, it has these crank out screened windows i've never seen...looked on samba and found same on buses called "EZ campers"?? is this some early US dealership camper conversion? i was told it had cabinets in it, but they were tossed because they were too crumbly. if anyone could educate me on what i have, that would be awesome!! thanks, sdw53

Is this a serious post? If so you should take some good pictures of the items you are looking to have identified and post them in the gallery. There were many aftermarket camper-conversion companies that converted buses into campers and many of these conversions included cabinets and crank-style windows.

(edited to add the word "and" into the last sentence)

EZ camper is the same idea as westfalia & sundial & riviera & a few others that I can't think of because I've been at work for the past 13 hours. Its just the name of the company that did that particular camper conversion. I'm not really sure how to identify which one you have though...cuz I've got a passenger bus, I'm not into those water-pumpers.

haha, get it? Water-pumpers...cuz they have sinks...& the sink has a pump...& the pump pumps water. Campers are waterpumpers! I sleigh myself sometimes. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Ok, I'll shut up now...don't kill me camper guys.

Just in case it's a Westy, there's a really nice 61 brochure in the Archives ...

Funny that, I had an image of him trapped under a sleigh after the axles stands gave way!

Those guys aside, take some good pictures inside and out of what you've got and post them here. Between all of us, we should be able to give you a good idea of what you have. :)
