I find myself camping at least once a month now that my son is in the Scouts. I am looking for some minimalist trailer or RV. I started with teardrops, but the old little ones are collectible and expensive, and the new ones are big and expensive(T@B).

So no I'm looking at buses.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between an SO 22, 33 or 44? What is SO? Also, can any of the old buses with the gear reductions drive at decent freeway speeds? Can they be made safe?

Finally, what was the advantage of having a hatch in the roof?

How about that little 2 foot square pop-up - is that just for standing up?

Any info would be appreciated.
