Are you driving an FE bus? You should do this...

The best part about bus living is sitting around in my jammies 24/7. This would so not work. Might be nice if my neighbors had one and they were hot looking nudists.

I just want a back porch similar to this.
I've already gotten my bus' rear down to this, may as well get creative-

That's a piece of sheet metal sticking out a foot and a half. Surely you want something bigger than that. With an FE... with an FE or RE bus, put the tail lights on the "bottom" of the porch and hang it on a giant hinge from the bumper. Fold it up when driving.

With an RE bus, making a door to get to it would be the tricky part. With the roof raise, could replace one of the side windows and use a skinny door. Would have to hang the porch with pins or something else quick disconnect to be able to get at the engine.

I wasn't talking about the piece of scrap steel lying in the doorway, man.
Was just showing that at this point I could do ANYTHING with the rear of the bus.

Hence the "similar to this" confusing the hell out of me. There ain't no porch in that pic.

Something that folds down tho would give you a much bigger footprint without getting in the way while driving.

I'm thinking more like turning the back "two rows" into a porch.

Love the idea of the Train-caboose style porch on the back using a few rows..

a fold down would be a lot of work and weight. i think Tango did that on his.

Yeah, not giving up the rows on my floor plan but then I want to be full time not a weekender.

I must be getting full-on redneck, because the porch idea is growing on me. Screened-in and it raises you higher-up for nice view.
