Sorry forgot to update the page, I sold the bus over the summer. Thank you for your interest though!

Thank you! I was wondering about that for a bit, and almost replaced it a couple weeks ago. thanks for the advice - ordered one and will install it on saturday!

It is with a heavy heart that I am parting with my short bus. I have put a ridiculous amount of time and thought into this thing, and it is a beast. It will climb up and down anything you tell it to in 4 low and handles crazy well on the highway considering it’s size. Has all the bells and...

Thanks! I am up in Carbondale, CO. Do you have a feed for your build, I would be curious to see it!

As of last January I purchased a 1994 Ford E350 school bus. I know, it was the craziest thing I have ever done - It never even crossed my mind that I would be the proud owner of a school bus. It sat on craigslist for quite a while, and every time i was browsing and came across it, i slowly came...

Good photos finally!

New Pictures sorry it took so long. I didn't get the camper from my parents home until last week. I have some new photos, but I only know how to post them really small. is there directions on here somewhere on how to post larger photos? Attached are smaller photos. I recently installed a yakima...

Ok I had the pics too big - here are a couple more. sorry about the lack of photos. I should have taken a lot more in the building process

Camper Build Pictures I finally found some photos of the build - sorry it took so long. These are from the first time I loaded it onto my truck. These pictures give you a good visual of the framing of the roof and the sides. the floor and the horizontal sides where the camper hangs over the bed...

salvaging aluminum Doogy, I don't see why you couldn't. I actually found a roll of thick aluminum in a friends backyard (i could spend years back there hunting for stuff) that I used for the roof. The hardest thing about reusing metal off of an old camper is that you need to find large enough...

Thanks everyone for your input - Glad to hear you like my design. I have finals next week (wish me luck!), and I will begin my build writeup the week after. I still have to figure out the whole photobucket thing, so bare with me at first... I actually designed it so that I could install a roof...

Yeah I was heading in the direction of using canvas, but I found that this would be a lot easier. I had all of the tools already (didn't need a sewing machine), and the panels actually hold up the roof, so without the panels i would need some sort of support to hold the roof up. Also I found a...

Wow, glad to hear everyone likes it! I might be able to get more photos sometime this week, but well see. My parents have 2 old camper jacks that are placed on either side of their alaskan. They are way too small for that rig (kinda sketchy putting that thing on their truck), but they work...

- There is weather stripping inside the piano hinges to keep it airtight. All of the other panels also have weather stripping (varying by size to fit the space) and it is almost entirely airtight. There are two locations where there are 2 small triangle holes. I just shoved some socks into them...

Here is a quick summary of the build from an old writeup: The plywood I used for the floor panel (and the walls and floor around the weelwells) was either 5/8 or 3/4 AC plywood. it is not a marine grade plywood (it would have cost way too much money). From there the walls (front panel...

After many years of staring at my computer screen at all the awesome rigs on this website, I finally decided to become an official member. Alright, this is just to get my build thread rolling. I actually built this camper over the last 2 years. With multiple requests for a build thread, I...

My Camper! Hey Everyone, I just joined expo officially after being an avid reader for years. I got really excited to see that my camper made it on here! This is my camper build for the last several years. I put it on craigslist to see if there was any interest in it. I really meant to do a...
