And the port it left... Maybe the Town of the person you purchased it from... Do you know the name that was associated with the bus? These things would be helpful.

I bought the bus from Randy Carlson. He has been helpful but doesent have the address of the person he bought from. The last name in the vehicle documents was Michael P Real, Ive written to him but had no response.

i just did a www.zabasearch.com on the name you have posted and got at least 3 hits w/ addresses and phone #'s. I am not going to post the info due to privacy. If you try it you may get a different address than the one you have?

Its been a while but I'm still hoping to find an old photo or even someone who might have owned my EZ Camper. I wonder if the photo will help.

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon.

Ok many thanks, not a lot of unique features other than a beetle exhaust and the remains of an aerial mount on the driver side front panel. Also its had truck mirrors at some time. Tony

Almost looks like the right spacing for a spare tire mount.
