Many will notice Sled took the heater tube out to do the floor. This is what he found! 🤢

looks very well insulated.  |
It would have gave him heated, filtered air with Hantavirus infusions. |

By the time I got this bumper it needed some work. I previously had one of the front bumper brackets repaired as it was cut off. It had a bit of bow to it, and Sled had the ways to bring it in tighter. Pictured is the 21 window it came off of.

This weekend a person who may or may not have been Mr OG Paint helped me in picking Campbell from Sleds. With the big hole in the roof I was really needing an enclosed trailer...and this one did the job. Sadly the bus will be to tall once the top is on for this trailer....but I'm hoping not to need such ways of transporting the transporter in the future.
The roads were clear, and it was cold enough to freeze over a good sized river on the way.

Nice Bus!
I see you have a license plate frame of Campbell’s in Centralia, WA. That was owned by the man who was the partner in Campbell-Nelson VW in Shoreline, north of Seattle.
Mr. Campbell was also pilot and our shop maintained his airplane until he was too old to fly anymore and he sold it. I can’t remember his first name. He was always “Mr. Campbell.” He was a nice man. I remember him talking about his store in Centralia.
If I remember correctly he flew the P-47 Thunderbolt during WW2.
Cheers,
Dave |

With the holidays and wife's birthday finally behind me, time to get back on Campbell! With the top getting ready to head out for resto it was time to see how it fit. It will be moved a little further forward than in the pics.

Top is off to get refinished! She needs some good love and a good sized repair to one of the vent holes.....

Oh, Man! That is a beast of a camper!
When you pull into a regular campground when other VW's aren't around, a crowd will ensue.
