interesting, they do look dry, but they look stripped, what it is the story on the missing running gear on all of them?

Here is my all original sundial camper. I got it with 52,000 original miles. Previous owner had it since 1969 and only used it for prospectsing on his spare time.
This is what you get for $1,300 in colorado

They were parted out years ago and seats thrown away like most were and used as storage since the mid 1970's. Most have drum to drum beams just no tranys. I love dry colorado.

Bonus, it looks like a kombi too; most OTW campers are panel conversions.

Yes, I'm glad it a kombi rather than panel. Not to many like this.

Damn...very nice Johnny Hash. So, are the Hehr style casement windows that fit into a factory window opening harder to find than the jalousie style? It would seem the jalousie style would've been more plentiful than the casement (crank) due to their use on Westys but IDK...please, do tell.

This bus came with the jalousie windows but a few weeks after the original owner had it he took it back to the dealer and had these put on instead. Good choice on his end. Not sure how rare they are but I do prefer them over the jalousie ones.

And there's this guy also. Both buses filled with parts to the roof.

The building you see over the roof is what I believe to be the old vw repair shop judging by the 15 or so beetles and various vw parts and debris about, covered with leaves. I really want to see what's in there!
