Remember our friend, The Long Bus? After wrapping himself in a duct tape cocoon for the winter, he emerges as a hideous beautiful functional camper. – Ms. Fix-It

It has begun…
The New Era of Recreational Monstrosity has begun…
The Partidge Family — The Early Years.
Let’s try that again:
The Partridge Family — The Early Years.
Isn’t the cab of the pickup supposed to support the bunking area? Hmm.
I think it’s strong enough on it’s own, but yes, it does seem a bit unnerving. Wouldn’t be hard to brace it though.
Yup. A pair of crutches and voila!
No, it is self-supporting. I was helping a friend, really …
On trucks, the cab is isolated from the load portion of the truck. This is for all the same reasons that tires, and the engine are not directly bolted to the passenger cabin in a car. Among other things, driving through potholes would really suck. A truck with an attached load body is called a van.
they were talking about the structural integrity of the trailer…not the truck.
A wild redneck appeared! Go, Longbus!
Be on the move, with all the comforts of home and the convenience of shooting pesky Zombies at the same time. The Zombie Annihilator 3000 from Miabotsu Motors. Ready, for your apocalypse.
My first instinct is to suppose that this belongs to a church, the congregation of which is comprised entirely of rodeo clowns. Have I had too much caffeine, if there is such a thing?
I am curious as to what your next instincts were. Let me try to guess:
- I love the rodeo, and I LOVE clowns! How do I convert?
- The modern-day pastoral nomads still strive to provide everything themselves from the education of their children to a place for their livestock.
- This is exactly why buses and campers are not allowed to procreate!
- [expletive]! [colorful metaphor]! [different expletive]!! [creative combination of the first and second expletives]!!!
Am I remotely close with any of these guesses? Or should I decide against starting up my own fortune cookie company?
Coincidentally, my next instinct was to eat the cookie from last night’s take-out, which said, “Your instincts are way off today. Stop chugging coffee, and quit hiding under the porch. The clowns are wrangling steers out of town.”
So I don’t know about your business plans, Dogmeat, because I don’t know how anyone could improve on that. Spooky!
Incredible! Do we order from the Chinese place? A few days back, my cookie said:
“Forget it! I am way better at this job than you can ever dream to be. There is no money to be made cross-breeding buses with campers either. Nice use of [creative combination of the first and second expletives], though! Nevertheless, you swear too much. Go wash your mouth out with soap from the dispenser in the bathroom of this restaurant…IF you can. Mwah ha ha ha!!”
I didn’t fully comprehend its meaning until this very moment. Ah, well…back to the entreprenuerial drawing board I suppose.
You know, this has me wondering if your true calling isn’t perhaps in soap dispenser filling education and support. (SoDFES?) Looks to me that the industry needs an overhaul, and soon.
No way!! I just looked on the back of the fortune, and there is some text in small print. How did I not notice it last week? It says: “You should take kc/cc’s advice. Also, not that it matters by the time you notice this, last weekend’s winning mega million lottery numbers wer-”
…
[expletive]! [expletive]! [expletive on top of expletive]! [grand daddy of all expletives]!!
*whimper* So was there anything on the back of your fortune?
It says, “Our feline products are made from 100% organic…” Oh, sorry! That’s the label from a box of cat treats. (Whew!)
The fortune says, “Bet $20 on Seabiscuit to Place in the Third.” Hmm. I thought it was pretty stale, even for a fortune cookie. No wonder. And it doesn’t even say what track!
*grumble*
Well, ya see boss, Seabiscuit wont be racing this Sunday.
And why not?
We had to scare that movie making big-shot.
OK, I LLOLed!
Even in a crisis, I think that fortune is going to make a very small rolling paper when you, er, study. In this instance, better cram for the test.
[expletive]! [colorful metaphor]! [different expletive]!! [creative combination of the first and second expletives]!!!
That I love, is so much better than the boring actual words. I wish we culd get this more widely used, with several different expletives, and some “expletive deleted”s.
I’m glad to see that the cannibalized trailer was installed with what once was its leading end pointed backwards – now you can enjoy the outdoors on your covered porch when the rain prevents you from enjoying it on your uncovered patio.
I thought nothing could be more humiliating as a kid in the 80′s than having to go Family Camping in a 1974 VW Bus with 8-track player. Well, I thought wrong.
Rumor has it Charlie Manson’s family had a split windshield ’65 Type 3 Microbus with an 8-track that only played Patsy Cline.
Wow, I’m humiliated for them. Explains a lot about where things really went out of control, though.
Yeah, that Patsy Cline used to whip up some mean hoe-downs back in the day.
This is only the front part of the long bus. The lens wasn’t wide enough to capture the rear end with its barrel-hot-tub and roadkill storage space.
And not to forgett the mine detector and afterburner!
The comment about rodeo clowns may very well be right- I know I’ve seen this while driving around the towns I’ve lived in recently, and I do believe this is in my own Billings MT
Just north of Cody, WY- Rodeo capital of the world! 
It’s totally true I drive past it all the time here in Billings
It’s about 4 blocks from my house, it’s gone now though, I’m sad.
Don’t worry. It’ll be back. That thing’s been around for years! I really miss the motorcycle he made that was a two-seater hobby horse. Now THAT was cool! And years ago, there was the sidecar that was a giant beer bottle. Creative guy.
Home skooling redneck style.
Dee Do Dee Do!!! Do Da Do Da Do Da Do Dee, Do Da Do Da Do Da Do DEEEE! Dee Do Dum, Dee Dee Dee, Dee Dee Dee, Dee Dee!
When you get to the the point of constructing vehicles like this one, it is time to step back, take a deep breath, admit that you have an addiction, and stop playing Tetris.
With a gap under the camper like that I don’t think this guy’d make it past level 5 in tetris! haha
crew cab+camper+pickup bed, all I see is a perfectly functional vehicle
Hey! I know this bus! It’s in billings, mt. I’ve seen it on my work to work for the past like 4 years! haha. I’ve even taken the time to take a couple more pictures for everyone

That’s the bus indeed! Thanks for pics
And keep your eyes open, the creator of this monstrosity is definitely working on something new… old… *grinding teeth* …evil!
Holy cow. I just realized that this picture was taken a couple yards away from my house, and I’ve seen that bus all throughout high school.
The internet can be a strange thing at times.
This is the truck that all rednecks dream about.
Throw in a still and a rudimentary hot tub made out of an old septic tank and you’ve got yourself a palace on wheels…
“Heaven, I’m in heaven…” Or the f*ckin’ inbred backwoods, whichever you like to call it.
If the driver of this bus ever forgets the meaning of the “U-turn forbidden” sign it wouldn’t really matter.
I know, I know… the creator of this bus, built the corvette-pick up truck with spoilers, I recognize the style!
This might have somthing to do with the fact that this is from Montana. (Also they want $3000 for it)
I can’t remember when I first noticed this thing, but I started driving by it on a regular basis when I switched jobs recently and couldn’t get away from the thought that it just belonged here. Recently, I took the time to actually get a few pictures of it–and here it is. (It’s also up on my Facebook, with the other two pictures I took.) It sits at the intersection of Broadwater and 6th Avenue North. I’ve never seen the thing move, and I’m not sure I’d want to.
I have to admit. That looks kind of pretty cool. I would live in that.
KALAMAZOO MICHIGAN!!!!! IVE SEEN THIS GUY!!
Whoever built this must think _The Red Green Show_ is educational TV!

Finally, an RV with a deck for tanning… weber grill needed for cooking tho.

I knew Transformers had ancestors!!
