You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

Thats a cheap way to do it.

I love this one. Redneck way to mount a tire. AND IT WORKS!!! I guess I need to keep some lighter fluid in my bus just in case.

  I remember those days when you would find Port-walls along side the road or some guy going down the street with half a Port-wall attached under the rim and half out - flapping away! LAUGH@

Truckers & 4x4 guys have been doing that for years, but you use way more and it not only mounts it but with about 4 psi in it
The VWs you can sleep in are more gooder

There are 3 kinds of people in this world, The kind that can count and the kind that can't.

Years ago I worked at a car dealership in Cherry Hill where they would bring in a guy that would cut the whitewall into the tire while it was on the car. Simply raise the tire, place a device under the tire (with a motor on it) that would rotate the tire. A cutting tool was then used to cut into the tire to expose the white.
Cool
