I've always liked Chris' fibre glass moulds at Giddy Campers, just up the road from us in Stockport-always at the shows. http://giddycampers.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I made one out of a Subaru a few years back ,, towed to the shows behind my WRC replica , it was for the members kids to play in while we are out on the track lol ,, stand alone PA system , 22" flat screen with built in dvd player and a Xbox all runs from its own gene in the boot ,, all just for fun no real practical use other than keeping kids quite lol

looks good but I'd say not very practical, not even a pop top for camping, going to be hard to navigate that round narrow streets and without a serious engine you are going to be slow with best part of 4 tonnes
Do you need an HGV driving license for that as it's articulated?

In the old days it was classed as a class 4 HGV as it is as you point out articulated.

Thinking of selling the Camper Cafe trailer as not used any more.
It will be ply lined but not have the coffee equipment or livery so blank canvas for someone.
Anyway here are some photos of the resto back in 2010/11:

Re: What you think about a T3 Bus Trailer?
I have too many toys already but I'm interested in what it weights on the towbar?

Re: What you think about a T3 Bus Trailer?
Don't actually know what the exact nose weight is but pretty sure it exceeds 50kg, especially when fully loaded with coffee supplies.
When building the trailer I put all the additional weight as far back as possible, including a 60litre water tank between the wheels, 4 x 180ah batteries, totalling over 100kg in the engine bay and a 50kg coffee machine in the rear above the engine.
This offset the weight as much as possible but the jockey wheel was certainly tested.
Don't think the bathroom scales will go that high to measure it!
Shall we do guesstimates........
