They were lucky to sell 25 of them |

I don't think that's a "Snowtop" interior. Do doubt about the outside though! lol... I think the company that made these called them Freedom Campers. Do a search in the forum archives, should be some intell. in there for ya. There's a fair amount of info. on the web about these. |

I just sold a freedom camper "snowtop" not long ago. There were more than 25 made. Mine was number 55. There should be a plate on the passenger side dog leg with its number. Thats definetly not freedom camper interior. They had shitters built into the interior. If you want some pics of original interior PM me and I'll post them. |

It's now owned by Kieft en Klok in the Netherlands.
I see this bus a few times a year on meetings. _________________ Frank

Cherry?..... no such thing, because they all certainly look knocked up, therefore no cherry. |
