Nice setup. Lots of space!
How well does that camper follow the bus?
Have you had any issues finding gas stations that can handle that length combination?

Nice clean shortie-without the typical wheel arch cancer!

It tows great and Not any real issues on gas stations you just need to watch close..

Just take you bus to a welder and have him make a hitch. I made my own not really that hard.

I really like it so far, I am thinking about going with 19.5 tires and wheels for the towing aspect, I will keep you posted.
Also any one out there have a tag axle on there bus? post up some pics of it if you can... I have a idea
