      Thank you! Didn’t change too much but the stock set up honestly doesn’t need much change in my opinion 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Great van! I have the exact same tank I was thinking about using as a diesel heater tank option, and you've done it!

      Thank you! It’s perfect for under the bench seat. Easy spot to fill too!

    Where did you find the VW logo stove covers? I want some for mine!

    • @gabriellenelson_

      A friend bought them for me from a couple in their van that made a handful to sell at the camp out event “Descend on Bend” a few years back! If you know someone who welds, I’m sure they could be custom made though :)

    Where'd you get the jerry can and mount?

    • @gabriellenelson_
      @gabriellenelson_  4 місяці тому

      Bought it off a friend who also had it attached to their GoWesty bumpers. The arm attachment is GoWesty and to be honest, I’m not 100% sure where they got the Jerry can originally. 🤔 I can ask em!

    Hi, I have the 82 westy/ maybe you can answer a ? Of mine/ I have the heavy duty struts on my pop top/ and Thule storage bin on top/ it’s a BEAR TO OPEN AMD CLOSE for me/ yours seemed to just glide With easy operation/ any ideas or tricks I should know about? thx

    • @gabriellenelson_
      @gabriellenelson_  4 місяці тому

      Mine only has some snowboard gear in it right now! If it’s super full it’s not this simple. And I sometimes have to use the top of my head to lower slower 😂 …is yours super full/where are your struts from? My solar panels are also really lightweight.

    How much did the subaru conversion cost

    • @gabriellenelson_
      @gabriellenelson_  4 місяці тому +2

      ehh roughly 15k ish. Mine was originally air cooled so there are some extra costs with radiator, coolant lines etc.

    Please dont drill holes into those westfalia furniture. even if they are old but they are sealed against moisture.

    • @gabriellenelson_
      @gabriellenelson_  4 місяці тому +4

      Good thing I own it! One hole for the heater to keep me from nerve damage is worth it to me. It also drastically improved any moisture issues I had.

      It’s just cabinet grade plywood so I mean she should just do whatever makes her happier
