First car show for this 1978 VW Campmobile
Yesterday I completed a 300 mile round trip in my bus to attend the V-Dubs by the Beach car show in Monticello Indiana. That was the first time I tried to enter into a car show but I arrived too late and missed the registration and voting. Oh well, it was a nice drive.
After two weeks of rain the bus just sank into the mushy clover covered mud. Luckly a friendly crowd moved from one bus to the next to push us out after the show.

Sorry you missed the registration, I would have liked to have seen how you fared in competition.
Where the hell is everybody? Am I the first response to this thread? People, support each other's endeavors to keep this VW phenomenom alive and vital!

Is that the original canvas, or does someone make a repop that looks like the original?

That is the original canvas top that you can still buy. I like the style with the side vents for summer camping.
Nice camper, anymore pics of it? I would've been saying "you want me to drive in that mud! Your crazy!"
