I hope the mods will allow this?
Some of you may like the T1 camper Lego set.
There is now an option to get the Bay Window as a set to. Only thing is, it needs 10.000  'supporters' before Lego even thinks about making it.
I do think it's worth a try though. I would be cool to have one for sure!
So give your support here.

Supporter #1352. Would be cool to add this to my Split camper bus. I would have made it a full bay rather than a pickup truck tho

I remember this popping up somewhere else, I hope it works. the $120 splitty camper was fun to build.
also if the single cab goes into production; Robbie you better nab a couple on 50% day.

Of course I'll be pimping them on here if they do.

Ack! Don't put the jack stands on the jacking points! You'll crush them!
Here was my reinvention of the splitty camper model, as a RHD double cab:
And I would definitely go for that bay single cab model if Lego offered it.

That would be one way to do it.
For my RHD DC (above) I looked at the instructions for much of it, and built out the parts that fit my plan. Then I used the extra parts, as well as a lot of extra Lego blocks (I needed a lot of red 1x blocks) from the bin. Everyone has a Lego bin, right?

You’ll learn a lot about the shaping and tricky building techniques by building the complete original model first.... From there, you’ll probably want a ton of small red, white, and black pieces. Look into online videos and pictures of S.N.O.T. LEGO building techniques. I could go on for hours.... I’ll keep it to three minutes below
