It looks like you made it so water won't run in from the gutter, too.

Love this thread... Here's how I've been camping. Trying to finish a dormobile conversion on another bus in time for the Moxee, WA campout next month. It may retire the deluxe to on-road adventures.

Sounds great. Knowledge of those off-the-internet spots is essential for the Bay Area camper, where all the easy-to-find camp sites are booked up months in advance!

Here is my camp set up last weekend with the swivel bus and my foyer tent and the HWE rack. Good times waiting for the others to come to the show.

Wish I could have made it out there, that foyer tent looks great on your bus!

Is this red bus a new or recent addition to your fleet? I seem to remember a 65/66 westy and a double cab, not this one picture. Awning looks nice. tj

Last camping of the season as Ontario campsites close for the winter (except those that are designed for winter camping). Last night it went below freezing, but I cheated and took an electric site so I could plug in a heater. That made sitting around in the evening more tolerable.

That looks awesome but I fear freezing cold when camping. So no signs of global warming there eh? Laughing

This part of the world always gets a frost in late September/early October. It was an atypically warm summer.

I would rather spend a night below freezing in a bus rather than a tent.
