1989 - Analogue picture from the pre VW California era.
Camping in Italy before the Westfalia period but with our first VW campervan. A VW Multivan Magnum with 112PS water boxer. Back then one of the fastest buses. Still without a catalyst. In the same year we bought our current VW T3 California. With the Mehler Bari travel tent from 1985 still on the picture. Back then top quality (like the buses 😉) The tent accompanied us through Germany and Europe for several years and still exists undamaged 35 years later. Due to the travel b

I discovered “google photo scan” for me.
Due to the travel restrictions there is time to go through the analog photos from our early days with the VW T3 California.

Stay at home -no travelling - saved 99 Euro which already spent
So far I had an substitute as a cover for the propane tank fittings on the VW LT Florida. I ordered a new stainless steel bracket and a original VW plastic cover. Now with the travel ban I had enough time on my hand to restore the 30 year old cover abandoned from the VW T3 California. As many of you Westy owners already new, they original plastic covers always break after a certain time. From making the brackets for the solar panel I had some spare ABS panel and so I used th

Campervan plastic refreshment - on the oldies
What an easy, satisfying job if you have the right product. I got this tip from Patrick from pataschasworld . The product I saw also at hermann-unterwegs.de , they used it inside the vehicle. Since we have a total of 90 years of VW camper vans here 😳, some of the plastic parts have of course been bleached out and I thought this was definitely worth a try. I only cleaned the plastic bumpers with water and applied the product lightly with a sponge. This went really fast and th

Festival season! 🤘
After only 2 usual festivals this year, #rar2019 and #gmm19 , I bought tickets for 2 unusual (for us) festivals in 2019. The #freiheitsmobiletreffen and the #busbastlerbasecamp . 🚐💨 Fun fact: In the thirtieth year with our #vwt3california the 1st festivals regarding #campervans. Of course 30 years ago weren’t any kind of campervan meetings nore so many vans on the road as of today. I was amused as a couple years ago the vanlife hashtag thing started. Who had thought stickin
