Your stove setup is brilliant,Taking the stack out the window instead of cutting a hole in your vehicle or truck topper,Good job 👍

Thanks my man, totally appreciate it. What I didn't cover was that if you saw early in the video my damper pipe had sheared off. So I didn't have a damper. Having the 2 90° elbows in the piping totally acted as a damper and worked perfectly! I highly recommend this setup. Thanks for watching dude!

Dude I could too! Does get a little tight after a few days in the snow but so cool. I'd usually pop the top but keeping it down helps keep it warm. The top makes all the difference. If I had to live in it, I'd want a high top so you could at least stand up. Thanks for watching buddy!

@@hoppycamper When I was in my youth, I got to camp for one night in a VW Micro Bus. It was an amazing experience. I know it was made in the 1950's or 1960's, it had all of the windows around the top of it. My experience was when I was in my early teens, so that would have been roughly the mid 1970's. My apologies for calling your unit a Van, I knew better than that. I don't know why I said that. Another interesting note, that huge VW chrome metal piece on the hood I still have. The reason I have it is because those were my wife to be's initials and I knew the family that owned the van. VW was her initials until I ruined everything by marrying her some 40+ years ago!

@@jonsymmonds1120 Haha super cool story man thanks for sharing! What a cool bunch of initials to have, never even met a VW, then you had to go and ruin it! haha I hope it worked out well for you and her. Don't you dare apologize, these things are called all manner of names (Samba, Kombi, Van) all the time! Glad you kept the chrome logo, I still have a white logo off a splittie from a junkyard in Georgia in the 90's, those were super cool busses with all that glass! I love seeing them, but these bay window busses are so much more useful and modern than those. But not nearly as pretty! Thanks for tuning in man!

Love your van. I missed mine. I had a used 1970 VW camper van like yours after I got out of college. Had it for about 9 years. Took it all over Florida, down to Key West. Then later got a used 1983 Westphalia VW Camper van and took it up the east coast all the way to New England. Had that one for about 11 years. Sure miss the great styling of those vans but missed having air conditioning (I live in Florida) and both had to have a lot of maintenance on a regular basis. Good luck on your travels!

That's what I'm saying man! No noisy clicking fuel pumps either! I always hated how they need battery power too. Plus, I've spilled diesel inside my GTI, took a year to mellow out! That was awful haha. And with this chimney setup, you never need a flue! Up, 90 right, across, and 90 up. I'd simply add a log every few hours. Awesome! Thanks for watching man!

Is the VW Bus original (motor-airhose) heating decent for winter or do you need additional heaters?
@hoppycamper
@hoppycamper 4 күн бұрын
Haha, completely original. The motor is completely bone-stock, 2000cc air cooled VW Fuel Injected just as it came from the factory. It's not numbers-matching since I rebuilt it a few years ago. It's shockingly capable in modern traffic. For the heater, I added a 70's-style in-line fan (moslty used as a blower on boats) under the cab to help pull more air up forward. But these never had much heat even new. It's largely just for defrosting the windshield and taking a bit of the edge off. I'm planning to add a diesel heater soon, stay tuned as I'll share it wtih the channel. Thanks for watching!
