Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts on this, I > would be curious... I'm sure its possible, but I can hear her screaming. Don't do it! Please! I'd suggest a roof rack: Pros: Definatly the coolest accessory for a bus. Will hold spare and gas, and small house. Much easier to install. Probably around the same cost. (Couple hunert bucks) No holes in her skin. Cons: Where's the ladder honey, we're out of gas! Wind resistance. Actually... considering the bus' own resistance. Just my thoughts... probably biased by my own desire for a roof rack, and the pain I experience when seeing splitties with attachments on the body (ie. scoops, ext oil cooler, etc.) - Mike White [Mail: mike.white@law.utah.edu - mwhite@eng.utah.edu] Visit my '57 23-Window VW BUS at: [http://fpc99.law.utah.edu/]
