What kind of tent is attached to your bus? That thing looks very handy. _________________ "My biggest worry is that when I die, my wife will sell all my parts for what I told her I paid for them"-Jon

We camped there a few times with my white 65 Riviera, too! Only difference was that my side tent was from a baywindow riviera. _________________ nothing |

It's called an Add-A-Romm tent, from Bus Depot. It's a really great tent but it takes a little bit to set up. You'd want to be staying where your at for at least a couple days to make it worth it. The Bus Depot also makes what they call an EZ-Awning. That would be real nice when you're on the road and just stopping for the night. _________________ It's later than you think |

Got out before the bugs this spring but it was cold enough that I took an electrical site and ran a heater overnight. My friend slept in his tent (which is older than the bus).
The bus ran smoothly the four hours to and from the site. We had lots of interests from passersby including 3 German tourists who assured us that it would be worth 100,000 Euros in Germany (I knocked that down by at least 80%).

Ghetto starter awning for a surf trip right after getting our EZ Camper. EMT, canvas drop cloth, and beach rocks...
My better half and I made the new awning - she did all the sewing! Had Randar make the frame.
Unusual, but the OG EZ Camper roof mounts are about 93" apart...

In a KOA in West Virginia with all of my cheesy canvas and mosquito netting.
They look at us as if we are from the Kuiper Belt. |

Got the Westy back out to the lake last week, tried out a 12x16 tarp for a rain fly, worked very well.

My 1960 SO23, Greg's 1963 SO33 and his tent trailer.
Once the morning funk burned off, was a great weekend at the beach. _________________ Beto
