Just couldn't resist the chance...
Was surfin' around on msnbc.com a couple of days ago and they were asking for pictures of your RV
So I sent them a picture of my 82 Westy at Zion with the caption
"... Driving the 'Original RV' ... a VW Westfalia..."
This should go to first page, top row, fourth from the left
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32209151/nPage/1
can't let the Winnebego owners take all the credit...

yeah I added rag top sunroof, it's nice but if I could do it over I probably wouldn't bother.
we have dirt bikes, bikes, and tools in the back. I also built a wall to make a tiny home office in the garage.
as for towing it's on all fours so I don't see why one would worry about the VC or remove the driveshaft. besides, I have a decoupler so I'm only cryin about how fast my tires are going to wear down. that sucks but I'm not giving up my syncro and I not going to pull it all over the country on a flatbed.  |

I saw that msnbc thing a couple days ago and I thought that van looked familiar. |
