Washington has so many cool things to see. I have been known to say that this is just like Washington just more epic when I travel lol. So that sticker is me putting my money where my mouth per say.
Good luck on your voyage to the perfect van. I have had an ‘84 Westy since Covid started(great timing, meh). I bought it from a restorer in California so it’s painted and much of the low hanging fruit were done. Now it’s in the shop at Rocky Mountain Westys for a Subaru swap. Looking forward to this Winter.
@@notvanpron4115 Thanks for asking. It’s been there since April. talked to Bryant via email and he has some engine checking and the alignment. Monday he should be able to give me a date during the week when I can pick it up. I’ll leave here on Wednesday after a doctor’s appt. I’ll be there until it’s ready. I have a uhaul reserved for Thursday afternoon. Soon. 🙄
@@kimhorton6109 Awesome! I wish I had a a subie in my van, so much mountain climbing power. I am about to try and get out again and try some winter camping again after my strokes 2 years ago...
@@notvanpron4115picked up My Vanagon at the end of Nov. It runs great and I have about 750 miles on it now. 😢hey fixed a bunch of little stuff like LED headlights, power pack that will charge the house battery when docked with electricity, they went thru the lights so all my brake, running, turn and backup lights work. This climbs the gentle hills we have in the Ozarks without straining at all. Waiting for better weather to get out for several days.
Nice van!!! Looks like you have the westy sink rust. The rust is coming from the refrigerator/sink/ water inlet. Might want to pull your stove unit out and check it out. Can be a big job if it starts to rot out structural. More vids please!!!!
Sometimes you may have to add a resistor for turn signals to blink at a normal speed, I think interior led lights can be to dim without one as well. Could be out dated knowledge though, bulbs may have that stuff integrated nowadays.
I think Amazon, I got them specifically because they do QC3. It's about time for another upgrade probably USB PD (devices) and just USB power (for GpPros).
Enjoyed the video and your modifications
Thanks!
Nice tour and some good ideas here...many just click on the state, but you were hitting every county, cool.

I loved the tour well done, & the reflective tape on the engine cover I’ll def copy well done.
Thanks. Ya that tape is a super good idea I came across. I was able to order the 2 rolls from amazon and have just a little left over.
That rug really ties the van together.
Thanks, it also keeps my stuff from going everywhere :)

How's your engine swap working out ? I really hear good things about RMWs work.

@@notvanpron4115 Strokes! Ouch. At 76 I prolly have been due for one for years. Glad you’re still getting along. Happy camping.

Great video!! Awesome idea using the reflective tape on the engine bay lid🙂🤙🏼
Thanks! Seems like a good idea we should all do. :)
NotVanPron I agree
I replaced all my interior lights with LED but I like all the extras you did.
Going to LEDs is so great. You can put them anywhere and they use almost no power.

Yes, I do have a plan at some point to pull all that stuff and redo that side of the van.
Nice westy!!! Reflective tape genius.
Thanks, I have found it super handy, especially when I have broken down on the highway.
"When I'm partying"😂
Sez it all!
Thanks for the tour! ✌🏽
I am glad that you enjoyed!
Nice video mate 😃
Thanks. It ended up being much harder than I thought, but a good first one.
Nice to meet another t3 ..will you make something for rust outside later ?? Lets save the t3 👍👍👍
That's the plan!
I’m putting mine that’s exactly yours back together now
I hope your van is up and running. Much love... happy trails!
do you have to add any other parts to add different light bulbs.
Sometimes you may have to add a resistor for turn signals to blink at a normal speed, I think interior led lights can be to dim without one as well. Could be out dated knowledge though, bulbs may have that stuff integrated nowadays.
The kit I installed came with a different blinker relay to fix the speed of the blinkers, that is the only change needed for LED lights.
What LED bulb did you use for the dome?
I used some generics off amazon... Not avab but here is the link

Where did you get the battery charge monitor/ USB ports?
I think Amazon, I got them specifically because they do QC3. It's about time for another upgrade probably USB PD (devices) and just USB power (for GpPros).
Where is the bathroom? Where to poop or pee or take a bath??
Dont need one. Its camping with a hard shell.
nice!
Thanks!
What else can I say besides SUPER.
Glad you enjoyed, I am going to do a new one here in a few months once I get some more upgrades installed.
