Pop up is factory, dunno about the thing in the back. I thought you didn't want to go camping LOL
-
the pop top is factory but i thought that kind only came on split buses. busicon2
-
I thought you didn't want to go camping LOL
No, I don't realy want to camp, but I tired of missing the further away events. :wallbash: Would stay @ a motel but I'm afraid of someone messing with my Rig during the night 888

you know i was reading on the samba and the only thing more risky then riding with passenger tires is not camping in your bus once in a while. so since you got your new tires i think for safety sake we need to sign you up for the next camp out. no one wants anyone to DDDDIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE LAUGH@

LAUGH@ LoL o142 I'm so conflictive on this issue. In a perfect world do I want to cruise to far away places & events with my SJVC Brothers & Sisters & sleep overnight in the Brick. But in reality their seems to be a lot draw backs, inconveniences & disturbances caused by unruly, & thoughtless non member a-holes that share the communal camp sight. My "Party" days are way behind me & I don't miss them even a little bit.
-
We will get you some good ear plugs like jack also between us bus people the sound is much softer in the bus then it was when I was tenting. If I put the top down I don't hear much just sliding doors of jack and yucel bus. But just keep that between us don't want the tent people to think there is a club within a club within a club. LAUGH@
-
Dude the aforementioned undesirable noises only affect those that open their tops to create huge acoustically transparent concert shells. Tin-tops dont have that problem
-
yea what he said you should be fine. Thank you mr. Wizard
-
The fun we have FAR outweighs any inconveniences & disturbances that may occur. My party days are way behind me also, but not having a good time with my SJVC Brothers & Sisters
I want to cruise to far away places & events with my SJVC Brothers & Sisters
We also miss Jim no being around and camping with us. Where you at Jim???
-
Speaking of camping are we planning on any more this year. i would love to see if yucel still knows how to put up a tent now that Bam Bam is being workied on.
if not we could always build a fire at my place to gather around for the night. (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/Skibumtgm/animated/animated20camp20fire.gif)

Dont think that got by me for one minute!
At least in a tent, no one can silently pull me across a field late at night...if you know what i mean.....
Look, its time we kidnap Scarecrow and his bus and force him to have a good time camping - whether he likes it or not.
Seriously, I love sleep. It is one of my main hobbies. I've been practicing for years getting it down , and have been really good at it. I HATE to miss sleep when there is not a good reason. But for the overnight, you just have to realize for just one night, you probably will not get a good night sleep, I never have yet, though I was pretty sure I would have at the MD show. It was just one tent of people near me....all it takes is one. But for the experience, it is still waaaaaay worth it - i dont want to get old and think back of all these unique times I missed just because I may not get a full night sleep!
It is always a good time with the other members, good quality time to get to really know everyone, it is really a lot of fun... and if someone needs help with getting their bus started in the morning - well, there are plenty of people there to help out. Just ask jack.....
You should try it - once - whn it is warm though :icon_thumright:
Good news is our group is always considerate when others are trying to sleep - in the very begining there were a few that were noisy... m-d fig2 fig2 fig2 :icon_twisted: but they're gone now...... &&&&

It's hard after sleeping in the bus to go back to a tent. Not sure I'll be doing a freezing cold campout, especially without the bus. I'm not opposed to a cold evening around a fire f-e though.. it could be your place or our's. Let us know when you' re thinking...
Mark- I think Matt has a good idea, wait until its a little warmer if you're not sure how keen you'll be to the overnight adventure.

Funny,
I was just looking at that heater and its brothers today...trying to decide which one to get. I like those cause they are smaller than MR heater, but do like the Mr Heater turn off if [O2] drops or it gets tipped over. found one MR heater for $70.00 on craigslist, I may offer him $50 for it......

-
If he goes 50 that's cool but I think I got mine for 79 if he doesn't bend toss out nine for a new one. I'm trying to see if I can split off my line to my stove so I don't have to change tanks in the middle of the night
-
Yea, 50 would be good, but another thing I was thinking was what Pat da Welder used in his tent.
I think he had a coleman heater that burned coleman fuel
something like http://cgi.ebay.com/COLEMAN-Catalytic-Heater-3000-5000-BTUs_W0QQitemZ230388658186QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a43bf00a (http://cgi.ebay.com/COLEMAN-Catalytic-Heater-3000-5000-BTUs_W0QQitemZ230388658186QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a43bf00a)
Not that exactly I think that is too hot, but something like it - or I may be wrong altogether. These things would last all night for sure.

This will last all night, http://cgi.ebay.com/Coleman-SportCat-Perfectemp-Catalytic-Propane-Heater_W0QQitemZ110430092446QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b6257c9e (http://cgi.ebay.com/Coleman-SportCat-Perfectemp-Catalytic-Propane-Heater_W0QQitemZ110430092446QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b6257c9e) though the heat output is lower....funny how that always works out..
but may be enough.
& they sell much cheaper than this one listed
yea, the heat is angled upward, but be easy to make a deflector............

I have one of those Buddy Heaters. It's great, but why buy a used one when a new one is slightly more. Note, that the 2009 models have been upgraded from the earlier models. Slight changes but upgraded due to problems.
-
The one he is selling is new in box.
-
Heater, heater. What's a heater? ???
-
Come camping with us, & we'll show you ..........
-
The one below your looking at is the one I have and it has a high and low setting, on low it lasts all night and that has been warm enough for me.
The heat goes stright up with mine also, don't radiate out to far, thats why I close my top at night to keep the heat down.
(http://remoteoptions.com/files/contentimages/coleman-blackcat-perfect-temp_0.jpg)
-
I've read they dont last all night, and I think you had that prob, and with the campers you can really hold that heat in
I just found this, as I was wondering about it....

On low they last from about 10:30pm till I get up, on high it will go out around 3am.

" Coleman Defective Product Case Goes to Trial: California Personal...
PRWeb
October 28, 2009
Trevor seeks compensation for severe and permanent bodily injuries resulting from the use of an alleged defective heater, Coleman's ProCat PerfecTemp Catalytic Heater (model 5053).
.........The lawsuit, filed against camping equipment manufacturer Coleman, alleges that the company knew the propane heater was faulty since they had received previous complaints and warranty claims, and knew of other incidents and fires. ".....
Trevor Dennis, who was 8 years old at the time,...........
............Trevor retired to their camping trailer, which was being heated by a Model 5053 ProCat PerfecTemp Coleman propane heater. Later that evening, the heater malfunctioned, which caused the trailer to burst into flames with Trevor inside. Most of the trailer was destroyed and Trevor sustained severe burns............
....The plaintiffs allege that due to excessive heat emitted by the heater into its own internal plastic housing and components, which are combustible at relatively low temperatures, the heater is inherently unsafe for indoor use. The plaintiffs further assert that these plastic components would catch fire in the event of a gas leak from any location within the heater -- including a diaphragm failure -- which, in this case, ignited and led to the catastrophic fire that injured 8-year-old Dennis............

That was a ProCat...Different heater altogether.

Where do you think the term '3 dog night' came from? Cold arse hippies trying to keep warm in their buses!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

Actually it came from Australia where aborigines were known to sleep with their dogs and a cold night was referred to a "3 dog night". I was a big fan of the singing group back in the 70's and remember the explanation for the name.
I've got a Chessie and that has to be the warmest dog on the planet. If the Aborigines had them the group would have been named "One dog night".

Try telling that to the hippies in Colorado still rolling around in old Ford, Chevy & VW forward control vans :icon_cheesygrin: :icon_cheesygrin: :icon_cheesygrin:
I lived out there 10yrs ago & it was like stepping back in time. Where there were vans busicon2 , there were dogs for those cold mountain nights!
