Kombi Trailer?
Has anyone out there made the rear of a bus (73-79 model) into a trailer?
I'm contemplating it but would be keep to see if anyone else has done it?
It's only a thought at the moment, so not sure if it will happen yet. It would look cool though.

Would be pretty heavy though.

There was a picture of a Kombi trailer on an earlier post, although it was the front half of the bus that was used.

Hey,
Thanks for all the info. The Pics are great.
Gary, I would love to get some more info, or pass on my e-mail address (cathrich@tpg.com.au).
That's what I had in mind, but was thinking of cutting it just below the window line. Buggy Brad also suggested putting the nose section on the
front to finish the look.

Ahh I thought we had the only one
I have built a trailer from the back third minus the roof, of a 74 kombi. Its not quite finished but I plan on setting it up as a camper trailer with
a swing out kitchen where the engine used to be ! We cut through the body work with a recipricating saw (beautiful clean cut) and welded a heavy duty
draw bar to the torsion bar housing and main chassis rails. It has under floor storage and two outward opening doors at front.
Look for it on the road after Christmas, we're not giving to much away its a work of art.

Now those trailers truly are very very extremely funky!
Not only have you got the coolness of a kombi, but also the added worship factor of towing a kombi trailer along with it.
très cool!!! |

Andy and all, those photos came from a site with a step by step, with photos of exactly how the trailer was made. I found it one night when i was
looking through VW sites. Please, anyone, let me know if you find the site!
