In the pic in the description and featured in the video (which seems to be shot at Lost Lake in Mt Hood)...I'm surprised the female model didn't have 1/2" goosebumps emerging from that lake.

Well, that was probably the first Amazon video I ever watched!

And yes, we have a kindle that travels with us. Quite convenient actually.

I like the flash of the GW third brake light on the rear window at :56 seconds into the video

I found this months and months ago--but I wasn't QUITE sure it was a Vanagon! What year and variation is it?

Shocked

I take my ancient Kindle 'Keyboard' along in Winston, and read in either the reversed front passenger's seat, or on the rear bench. I have the ports and apparatus to charge it ready in the Van. Reading in beautiful surroundings in peace--or in a pouring rain--is a wonderful part of Westy camping.

Best!

The van either has gas fillers on both sides - or more likely the video editors reversed the image.

White line in the reflection, white line in the background, double-line in the center. Van was driving in the literal middle of the road... definitely reversed image/video, IMHO.😊
