[@mattstick1man563]

Always love your videos, glad you had a great trip with no troubles !! 522 busses, that's amazing, I hope to be there some day.

The great thing about driving these in cool temperatures is that they work and cool better due to the denser cooler air.

Awesome!! Some year!! Its a little over 2000 miles away from me in Pennsylvania. It's 17°, snowing, and icy everywhere, so thank you for allowing me to get some VW content while im stuck indoors & freezing cold!

[@EduardoOliveira-ho3ll]

Great video, thanks! I think that colored bus in 33:58 is a "Ez Camper", was a manufacturer that made a few camping buses because at the time I think Westfalia could not cover the whole market so as other manufactures Ez Camper made some. There are very few units produced still running. There was one announced here in France weeks ago.

[@Mikefngarage]

Very cool!

I’ve always intended to make it out there but this time of year is our busy season. Also, you road around for a solid 15 min and I saw only two porta-johns. Uh…yeah, no thanks. It’d be a hotel for me too. Haha😂

[@Mikefngarage]

super pleasurable to sleep in total comfort, Have a hot breakfast then ride into the show fresh. Spend late hours at peoples camp fires. It is a great way to enjoy that event. I love the driving part too. So in all about one of the best shows I have attended. Other ones I like is the spring picnic. but it is close to the freeway. So we camp pretty far away from all that. Has nice showers and flush toilets a short bike ride away. Silverado has limited Johns and no showers. I just do a 1 nighter there.

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing

This jump starter looks like a nice stuff. I am thinking of getting one to put in my garage. I guess the items in the little box can be used to inflate some stuffs.

[@Mikefngarage]

yea did my bus tires too worked great pretty fast pump and automatic pressure settings. USB out and all that for charging cell. all around pretty nice. and said pretty big engine starter.

[@tomsummers1137]

That was Robert Skinner’s Downhill Racer in front of me and Jim Magil down by the inlet. Who needs Vanagon Gulch when you got waterfront?!?!

[@jimmywilkinson9190]

Hey Mike ! Should have got under Jasons bus ( old volks tv ) and took his starter ? That was a long trip . I took Rambus to Florida before , what a long drive .

[@Mikefngarage]

Oh yea your in corpus that is a drive just to Austin or San Antonio

[@Swimdancer1]

Much too crowded for my tastes. I hope all who went had a good time.

[@Mikefngarage]

great to hang out.....and great to take a short ride to sleep at the motel. ha ha. Yea too dense to me for camping.

[@hded06]

Why does it more gas mileage?

[@kiminaz]

[@Mikefngarage]

I asked on saturday morning and they said 522......maybe some people came saturday afternoon?

[@kiminaz]
