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. I can only estimate the time of the pictures from the additions on the vwbus or the location of the picture. (as far as I remember) - Translift roof rack bought in spring 1990 - projectzwo wheels since spring 1991 - Paulchen Heckträger since autumn 1991 In other words, the pictures on which the bus was still "naked" are the oldest. 1989-1990. A couple of

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

One third of 2019 done. Day 117.
Travelled most of the time. Spent 25 nights in the camper and lived 72 days in Hotels.
9970km on the road.
7 European Countries 🇩🇰 🇧🇪 🇳🇱 🇱🇺 🇩🇪 🇦🇹 🇮🇹.
Beaches 🏝 at the #northsea and the #mediterranaensea. Crossed the #alps 🏔 2 times.
Crossed Germany already from the northernmost point to the southern point. From above Sylt to Füssen.
..
Fun fact, according to #4sq I had more visits at #HardRockCafes this year than I was at home. 😟
..
😁 Spring is here! 🚐💨☀️

The one with the Fatwesty Entertainment
The one about the Fatwesty Entertainment Most of the the time you don’t need it, but at short and cold winter days sometimes it is convenient to have a little entertainment in the evening. Just your favourite Disney movie for the 27th time on DVD or a little bit netflixing, just a short game or local news with DVB-T2. The equipment: 20” Flatscreen TV with triple tuner, DVD, HDMI and some other connections. Running with 12V Amazon Fire TV Stick. Streaming Device for the HDMI p

The one about the Eberspächer
The one about the Eberspächer Dealing with the Eberspächer D2L auxiliary heater. We have two of them. Both 29 years old and still running. The problem, you “should” or in our case in Germany you “must” replace the combustion chamber after 10years because of the danger of an carbon monoxide poisoning. I’ve never done this. 🤔. The VW T3 California was not used in winter weather the last 15 years, so it was no need for the Eberspächer, only was turned on for checks. In the VW L

33 year flashback. Odometer & Blaupunkt Radio
#odometer 😀🤘🚐 installed today. Flashback to my early driving days. In my 1st car, a VW beetle I had a similar km reminder. Now, 33 years later, I have still need for such a vintage thing. 😏

Short explanation: I was surprised 😳 by the name of the car radio 📻 in the #vwltflorida . Because my 2nd faible besides traveling w/ my #campervans is my #
