Sometimes you meet some very interesting folks when you are out in the middle of nowhere in a VW bus. We sure did. And they are friendly and helpful.

A battery-powered CO alarm is a good idea for a bus with a woodstove. I had a stove in the bus back in the seventies and I wished then that an alarm was available. It doesn't take much going wrong for a bus to fill up with CO. It's also good for checking the integrity of your heater boxes in the fall when you first turn them on.

Thank you! And yes there's a cubic stove inside for cold mornings. The previous owner threw a diesel heater inside as well but I prefer the romance of fire.

Never heard of or seen one before, but why would I living here in San Diego. I always carried a small suitcase filled with cold weather clothes in for my winter camping trips.

Snowbank Mountain, Idaho. This was a fairly sketchy trip with loads of steep parts that I needed first gear for. Also the bus not starting at the top was a bit stressful but hey, we both made it back in one piece. I actually lost a hubcap on the way up and a guy in an ATV picked it up and gave it to me at the top of the mountain! Strangers can be amazing.

Yep, pretty awesome. Guess I’ll just have to suffer with dirty Dove blue.
