I remember looking at that beast at Bad Camberg. Seemed to be built off a bay window

Is the body fiberglass? Looks like an attempt at a "modern" RV

| it looks to me like they put a trailer body on a bus frame, grafted on some headlights & signals & stuff, put a split screen in & called it a VW. I swear I've seen travel trailers with those exact same lines... |

I remember those things from the '70's or early '80's.
They were available built or as a kit, and advertised in Popular Mechanics in the back with the weird autogyro and "build your own laser gun" ads.
Fiberglass shell with fittings to install on a baywindow bus chassis.
That thing needs safaris bad.
