I am in the process of getting my 69 tin top camper running and was thinking about how much I like tin top campers over pop tops.. Not that I don't like pop tops aswell.... I have had a few in the past, but the look of a tin top is pretty sweet. So please if you could post up some pictures of your tin top and its awesomeness! I promise to upload some of mine when I get it out of the garage tomorrow.

My Subaru powered panel...



Not sure what it takes to qualify as a camper. It has a folding bed, cooler, and a smidgen of storage.

tin top campers are about as best as it gets, my bus is currently running but needs new weatherstripping, brakes and a paintjob :)

My 79 - it's a 7-passenger, but counts as it has an original z-bed :lol:

Well I didn't get it out of the garage this weekend... But here is my latest work in progress. Hope to be putting the rebuilt in next weekend!

Here's my 69. I'm in the process of building a new garage for it. the picture is quite a few years old and she is now in need of a bit of restoration. Can't wait to start.

My Neptune Blue 78 Riviera Camper with a HWE roof rack. Original cabinetry and upholstery inside in pretty nice condition. I was never a fan of blue and dark brown together until I found my Bus! :D

My '69. I love the fact that I don't have to worry about replacing seals and canvas every so often, but I wish I had the head room sometimes. A westy Tent, add a room tent, or awning is mandatory for camping IMO.

1969. Bought it from the original owner a year ago. She lived her entire life in and around LA. Still has the original plate frame from Downtown LA Volkswagen.

Bought it yesterday, and picked it up @ Olsen's in Tampa today! We took Gandy bridge back, and there's this awesome little sandy inlet down there and I just had to stop. So much fun already! My intent is to put the camper interior in it.
