Do you have any grille shots? I wonder what chassis is built on

 

I'm not sure what it is exactly that you're asking.

These Mercedes buses I post here are pretty much all T2's, as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_T2

I did paint one of those a while ago and fixed some little things, but apart from that I'm not familiar with the wa it's built, maybe image searching will answer your question?

There are many 'Boots'. Did you catch all of these in the same area or the same day?

 

I got the impression over the years that during the summer months there's a lot of people travelling / living in these kind of vans visiting (or passing through) Berlin.

I'm not really familiar with the community, but I suppose Berlin really is the headquarter for these kind of buses; we just had a ton of those here after WW2 and they basically got repurposed when police, fire brigades, trades etc. got more modern vehicles and sold them cheaply. 

There are still several repair shops and DIY garage kind of things in the area that are dedicated to just these T2's.

Cool, this is exactly what I was asking.
