|
|
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. _________________ 83 Vanagon

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. _________________ -Ron |

Really appreciate what Everett has done here. Almost like he hand picked some of you. I am very thankful for all the help I get here. |

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

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!

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.

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. |
