About
The Pirate Bus started as a pipe dream from a bunch of Pirate Fans who had utilized a make-shift trailer to provide the one-stop tailgating adventure. The idea was conceived at the kitchen table with a mound of half-price tacos after a Pirate win. Would’t it be great to just roll out to a tailgate and setup.
The S.C.U.T.A trailer was then built. While it provided nearly everything a Pirate fan could want for a tailgate, wouldn’t it be better to be able to spend the weekend tailgating. That then started the “Bus” saga which resulted in the next decade of three RV/Bus conversions. All the pictures can be found on the photo page.
After 20+ years and several generations of Pirate fans coming to “The Bus” we are glad to say 2018 will be another great year. We are proud to have friends and family throughout eastern North Carolina that have stepped up to help support us.
We look forward to seeing you at the next tailgate. Go Pirates!
