Wow,
That's all I can say.
That front view with both tents open looks like some kind of VW flying machine experiment!

How does that rear bed thing attach?
How is is folded up?
Against the rear hatch?

Really nice ride, Dude.

Hey Mr. W., was it difficult at all to do the install? I'm getting ready to do just that to mine and though it seems like a straight forward job I was wonderirng if you hit a "snag" or something at some point into the project. Did you "clear" the fresh air vent? Which point of reference did you use in measuring to "center" the cut? Also I want to paint the top the same color of the bottom of my bus. Should I paint it first then install it or vice versa? Any tips you can offer will be greatly appreciated Smile

That is going to be one BIG dog. Look at the paws on that thing. I haven't seen many black Great Danes but they are very cool dogs. From the photos it looks like it only has one eye... Wink

Hey Greg, Those seat mounts you sent me were perfect. I like the camper alot, but like it was said before, Slam-O-Matic is bad ass. What size tires are you running on Slam-O?

Glad the seat mounts worked out for you.

The tires on the Single are 195 / 45 / 15's in the front, and 195 / 50 / 15's in the rear.

The same size as the ones I'm now running on the EZ.
The engine isn't in yet, so it has a bit of a rake to it in these pictures.

Gotta like a bus that becomes a two storey 1200 sq ft cottage when necessary! i think that is the first time i have seen a camper that will sleep twice as many people as can ride in it.

I used to pull a tent trailer with it so we'd have more sleeping space. That's not necessary anymore so now, I pull an OG Westy trailer.

I'll get it out and take pictures tomorrow.

Greg, the EZ's lookin sweet!! I definitely like the lowered stance and the Dormy top. Makes me want to do that conversion on my Riviera...the top not the lowering.

For the record, yes he is going to be BIG. Here's a shot of him at 11 months getting a drink in the bathroom, not from the toilet, but from the sink!!!

The other Dane in the picture is 3 years old, so you get an idea of how big the "puppy" will be..........

I was running the tent sides while camping, but for the pictures I took them off so you can see the doors on both sides, plus it looks like the Bus could take flight without them on.

Not sure if I ever gave Hella Bro a public thanks fopr hooking my up with this Camper to begin with. If not, here it is...

that thing is the greatest thing since your other bus photos. i know you got the biz and all hence the Mr Warehouse name but i think you should be Mr. Odd Bus because everyone you have is so damn unique!

I love the lunar lander references! LOL Just you wait, I'll get that into Photoshop this weekend and drop it down on Mars. Opportunity and Spirit ain't got nothing on this ride! You just need the NASA logos now.

Thats the coolest camper I think I have ever seen. The side awnings make it. I wish I could find a bus that nice.
