Hello, I’ve been working on a late bay camper for a few years here in Black Creek. Hope to have it on the road this summer. Thought I’d check in. Cheers, Don

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I’ll post some pics once I learn to navigate this site better. I tried last evening but to no avail. I see there’s a tutorial for doing that. Hmm, I suppose I’ll have to go back to school…;-) Terry, yes I remember you. Dad always spoke very highly of you. Sadly, he passed a few years ago, but at the respectable old age of 93. He was still sharing his work and war stories til the end. You moved, I see. Think I recognize your place from one of your posts. Drop in anytime. I’ve got a few projects on the go (and a very patient wife!). Looking forward to meeting up. Don

Yes, I have a few British vehicles. Kinda fell into them. Over 30 years ago, while on a road trip, we towed a 59 MGA barn-find, home from San Diego with our 74 VW camper. Still have that car (and the $5 flea market tow bar) but sold the bus. My wife and I decided to re-live our youth and get another camper bus. Towing a car with an air-cooled bus, in August, over the ‘grapevine hump’ was just fine!
