The Final Farewell - one last road trip through Norway

[@SimonBraeck]

This marks the end of an "era" for us. This van was a true game changer for the way we see the world. So many memories. I hope this is the right decision. Would love to hear your thoughts😳

[@nealwalden3543]

I too had CV joint blow apart (mine is an 87 tin top Syncro). Ultimately replaced all axles and all CV joints as a precautionary measure. I've just replaced the engine (as stock). So figure I've spent $40K US dollars (it was a one-owner, near pristine find) total, including the original purchase cost. There's just nothing being sold that has the same combination of features. Will be interesting to see what you end up with. The VW vanagon/T3 is a perfectly imperfect vehicle. Surely enjoy your videos.

[@SimonBraeck]

Perfectly imperfect pretty much sums it up👌🏼 We want to go further, for longer and also something that can take us there during winter. Needed a change, although it was no easy choice. Thanks for watching!

[@erikvanos1273]

Please try to sell Norris in the T3 community

Such stunning scenery guys, thank you for sharing your beautiful country. Safe travels Den Australia

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you 😊

[@robertarnes5750]

Really sad that you guys have to say goodbye to your be loved van. Your trips and videos has been an inspiration for me and more people. Actually after to watch your videos and bought your guide finally I am enjoying Norway in my own. I started my trip the 8th and still travelling and discovering the beauty of Norway for few more days. The weather has been super so far!! Looking forward to know your upcoming projects!!!!

[@SimonBraeck]

It was no easy choice, but we’re okay with trying something new now. Thanks for checking out the guide, I hope it’s helpful as you travel through my home country. Weather is great now, may it last! Enjoy☺️🇳🇴

[@robertarnes5750]

Thanks Simon. Indeed the guide has been really useful. Norway is beautiful just a dream for nature lovers!! Heading back home but definitely I will come back. Looking forward for your new adventures. Best wishes for the three of you!!

[@b8barbara]

Your videos inspired me to go to Norway. I am finally here and plan to travel for 4 months. I’ve never clicked faster on a KZbin video in my life. So happy there is a new video!

[@SimonBraeck]

Wow, thanks! I really appreciate this. Hoping Norway will live up to your expectations😊

[@luigiciardelli685]

I am italian and i started watching your videos when we came to norway, by motorbyke. I also own a 77 vw t2. Your t3 van is one of the ingredients of your videos that I really love because are high-quality/normal-people ones. Life goes on and things changes so I wish you the best of the luck for your new adventures! (Please improve your pizzas!!)

[@SimonBraeck]

Haha, please help out with the pizza🥹

[@sequoiasemperviren3163]

I am trying to relocated the blog where a couple from the UK purchased a Royal Army one ton 4X4 and had an entire RV unit built on the chassis. They had it transported to Nova Scotia on a roll on/roll off ship transporting tractors to Canada. They drove from Nova Scotia across Canada up to Prudhoe Bay Alaska, then south all the way to Argentina/Patagonia, then up to Buenos Aries where they put their vehicle, nicknamed "The Beast" on a roll on/roll of ship back to the UK. They have an epic blog complete with photos. Oh, and now I remember, while in Chile they parked The Beast and took a side trip down to Antarctica. As a followup, their blog was featured at the Expedition Portal website. I have inquired about the blog. Great website for folks like the all of you.

[@SimonBraeck]

Sounds like an amazing trip. Bucket list item!

[@sequoiasemperviren3163]

@@SimonBraeck I'm trying to find the entire blog archiving their amazing trip. 2+/- years. They were in their mid 30's, quit their jobs, and went on a trip for a lifetime. I believe they still use their beast to travel throughout Europe. 1/4 of the RV is the WC (I assume as was demanded by the misses).

[@gdearyaaristha268]

Wow, saya menonton dari van itu masih berwarna merah dan kalian mengecatnya di parkiran. Perjalanan yang sangat panjang dan indah. Oya simon, pengambilan gambarmu selalu sangat bagus.

Cloudberries / Multer 🧡 My favourite as well!!! I Can't wait for the season to start this year I have some lingonberry and crowberryjuice left from last year, but all the blueberries, wild strawberries, blackberries and raspberries are gone 😔

That Sunset at 18:18 is epic. Thanks for the great videos. If you come to Australia sometime come and borrow my VW T3 Camper for a few days!

[@waynemoven]

I hope you guys get another van as I love your travels and content. Sad to see Norris go 😞❤️

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you😃 It’s sad, and it’s really bittersweet. Let’s hope we made the right decision

[@orenkipnis7058]

WOW, what an end. Norris does not want you to leave him alone. Please keep him even just for short trips, while using another rig for longer ones. No other camper will ever turn the spirit of a VW, especially after you prepared Norris by your selves. Your trips really inspire everyone who watches. Yes I plan coming soon after travelling Norway back in 1997.

[@SimonBraeck]

We’ll see, haven’t sold him yet. Got emotional watching this🥹

Welcome to Vesterålen indeed ist a hidden gem. 💎 sad with the car but it opens up for new adventure with a new project. Nice to see that you three got experience a lot with the old car through Norway 🇳🇴 best regards.

[@hannahgraingerclemson5647]

Thank you so much guys for your amazing videos and sharing the van travel love. ❤ Have been watching for a few years and finally made it to Norway last summer inspired by you. Looking forward to your next chapter. It's in the winter and the long journeys we also feel the same about needing another option but without losing the essence of the journey or having to hibernate for so long. So we understand your decision. Much love Hannah (Human) and Henrietta (T2 '74 Orange Bay)

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks for the kind words🥹 And I’m glad you made it to Norway, such a wonderful place for exploring and living out of a van. True, a new option will extend the season and even enable winter activities while staying out in the van. Looking forward ti trying that out😊

[@VanDerVolk]

Good old Noris, thanks for the ride.

[@ElwoodPDowd-ed7pc]

Brings back so many great memories of my own. Thank you so much for sharing … it was a nice surprise to see you wonderful people again in my feed this Sunday afternoon! I too had a VW van, 1981 I bought very used. I saw it from afar in a back lot of a used car dealer. I just saw the very top portion of it, made a quick u-turn. The story was much like yours. Took a few months to get it road worthy and the rest was history. Experienced all of the USA except Alaska & Hawaii, most of Canada and a bit of northern Mexico. I was more of a mountain biker then. Hiked a bit too! I was probably about your age back then. You are so blessed to have all of these van travels recorded and edited so well !! Thank you so much for sharing and bringing back so many wonderful memories from long ago. Looking forward to your future projects. All the best to you both! Blessings!

[@SimonBraeck]

Wow, what a great story, thanks for sharing it! Unbelievable achievement getting such an old thing on the road and completing almost all of the US, kudos to you. My pleasure, really. Glad you could extract some of your own memories from watching this🥹

[@seeyou1812]

you two are the best always glad to hear from you

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you very much😊

[@heimaufreisen]

What an epic video again, congratulation Simon and Benedikte. Norway has a so wonderfull landscape and you both know how to capture it. Amazing drone shots. We are looking forward to our travel to Norway in September/Oktober with our 4x4 sprinter van…i know you like this sort of van 😉. Goodbye Truck Norris…you where a great companion.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you very much for the kind words😊 Sounds like you’re in for a treat, with amazing fall colors those months.

[@famsteggink3887]

Another great video. Was myself last august with the motorbike on the Lofoten and Vesteralen, also 30 degrees and lots of sun. Indeed a magical part of Norway.

I was just wondering about you two a few days ago. Glad to hear that you are apparently well. Truck Norris served you well, with an occasional bit of mechanical obstinance. Thank you for the always informative travel blog. Take care and happy trails. Chuck in Kentucky, USA

Thanks Chuck! It’s been a wild ride, he is perfectly imperfect and clearly don’t want to part ways…😅

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

Thank you for showing another epic norway adventure and the most beautiful scenery. It's sad having to move on to a new chapter in life after such amazing times but the memories will be there for you. Good luck with your next project and i will be looking forward to your next adventures.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. We're looking forward to the next chapter, it's been a blast and we're ready for new challenges now.

[@bluewendytube]

That was a pleasant surprise, even if a little sad. You’re so lucky to have a country that provides such amazing adventures. We’re upgrading our old camper, for a slightly newer one, so looking forward to that. I wonder what your new adventures have in store for us all, exciting!

[@sandrarutjens]

Even though it was the last T3 Road trip. it will stay in your hearts.❤ I missed you guys.🎉 Because always when I'm watching your videos I want to pack my bags and drive with my car to Norway. Even if I was there in march. But the weather in Oslo was a mess. Rain, snow and windy and as we left the Sun. Haha. I'm right now every day I want to come back. Greetings from Switzerland and I'm looking forward to the new videos. 😊

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks!😃 Winter was harsh, but it went straight to summer and perfect weather lately. Fingers crossed for a good summer full of amazing experiences!

[@dylanhj]

Lovely to see you guys back again. Each car you own is like a journey, just like each country you visit. You’ll always look back on ‘Truck’ and remember the good times. If you ever come back to New Zealand you can drive ours for old times sake! Looking forward to your next move 🤙🏻

[@ulftornert2855]

So good to see you again! I've been missing you! 😀👍

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks! It's been too long, hoping to get some more frequent uploads now that we're getting a new (more reliable) camper 😊

[@kimhorton6109]

At 78 and with only five years with a Vanagon I have to say the Vanagon may not be that vehicle to take me out there. It’s requires too much mechanical knowledge to keep it on the road. I love driving and camping in my Westy but where I live no one will work on this 50 year old van. Even a newer (98 Subie 2.2L) engine the Vanagon was built for 55 MPH speeds in a hurry. I have to thank you for giving wings to a great traveling vision for these years with a Vanagon.

[@SimonBraeck]

Totally agree with these reflections. It’s a constant challenge and you’re always on the lookout for the next failure of some sort. We gave it a shot and followed our dream, can’t ask for much more☺️

[@KeepitUpright]

Watched your vids with Chuck, great work and a great ending. I don't think Chuck wants to leave. 🤣 Heading over myself in my self built van conversion or motorbike, not yet decided. Thanks for the insight to Norway. 👍

Oh! Always love to watch your travels and all those beloved places, and bring my own journeys through Norway. So sad to say goodbye to Norris, but hopefully a new rig will take you to even more beautiful places to explore (with fewer worries :D ) Best luck! See you on the road somewhere in Norway (maybe!) :D

[@SimonBraeck]

Hi! Thanks, we love those. They're the Rally Wheels from GoWesty

[@robfodder5575]

Nice video! How did a wheel fall off! wrong shaped bolts were used? And the driveshaft too; not torqued up? You dont have much luck guys :-( ... far too much beautiful country to enjoy to deal with such an unreliable van. VW Crafter 4motion? ;-) How do you find the Toyo tyres? Im looking for such a tyre for my van.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you😊 I can only speculate, but it got some work done at a shop, I suspect they removed the wheel without me knowing and suddenly the bolts became loose after some short driving. It's a shame, really. We hope the new rig will enable more exploring and less fixing😄 Can't spoil the model just yet🥹 We're really pleased with the Toyo's. Feels like a sensible mix between road comfort/noise and off-road capability. Using BF Goodrich's on a T3 feels overkill and would cause the CV-joints to jump around even more😂

Norway is more than the stereotypical fjords which 99% of all tourists come here to see because that’s what they think Norway is, even though that’s just the west coast (vestlandet)… We have tundras, sandy white beaches with turquoise blue water, running hills, deep forests as ancient as the Last Ice Age, even «rainforest», lakes, the list goes on.
