Van camper on back?

Re: Van camper on back?
I linked them from a motorcycle page. Must not have access.
I have saved them and tried to upload here. Let me know if you can see them now.

Re: Van camper on back?
I CAN see them now. Well that's one way to do it, lotsa headroom too! Not so sure about the camper, but I sure like that truck...

Re: Van camper on back?
Do you know if the van still had the windshield in it? I think it's safe to say that is one of a kind!

Anything is possible with enough welding rod!

Re: Van camper on back?
I'm thinking that thing would be heavy.

Re: Van camper on back?
That's an attractive idea. Took a lot of work, too. I think it would be a bit on the tall & heavy side for me, though. I'd want to give up some headroom to lose about 8" or so, the width of that middle body line. A shorted window would be needed.
I bet the front is teo rear doors welded shut. It appears to be two van back halves.

Re: Van camper on back?
I like the truck a lot. The camper is creative but not my style.

Re: Van camper on back?
Well if I was camping up in Cannada that rig looks like it would keep the bears out !
I asked mrs Grumpy if she wanted to go camping in Cannada eh ? and she said " Aren't you worried about the bears ? " Not as long as I can run faster than you honey !
