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.)
