I wonder how many good buses were sacraficed to make these things? And for the price they want, you could find a good early camper bus anyway! Does look cool though.

I dont think a Bug could safely tow that not to mention the added wind resistance..

Read carefully, they talk about "the glass fibre body shell"

They just look like salvaged buses. They are actually new bodies.

And... the weigh just 750 Kg (about 1650 Lbs), should be towable by almost anything.

See more info here:

Very cool.
