Hey everyone im really getting into the camp scene (well trying to) but i figured i'd start a thread about split bus camping. Your pop tops or trailers, your entire setup. So yeah bring you pictures and you suggestions.

very easy to set up.10 min by yourself after you do it once and see how it all goes together.I only got to use it a couple times because I just got it last year but seem solid if set up properly.Great investment for sure

KOA up in Saugerties NY a couple of years ago. My girl and I laughed when the rain came. Heard everyone scrambling for their car, we just pulled the poptop down...

I have a bay Westy kit in the back of my panel. Then I just use an old coleman ice box fridge and stove. All I could add for my purposes is a side tent or awning for bad weather.

I don't have any pics of my setup. Its pretty simple. I like to pack minimaly so I can spend the camp trip relaxed rather than spending most of the time packing and unpacking.

Z bed, cooler, stove, water jug, camp chairs, cookware and maybe an ez up canopy to keep the sun or rain off. I keep as much as I can in a tote so its packed and ready to go all the time. And most important, a roll of toilet paper.

I often take both rigs when I take the family camping... I like the privacy that the Westy offers when sleeping with the Woman. Wink Without reservation!!
