VAN TOUR Of My 1982 VW Vanagon Westfalia

I finally caved in, bought a van and am starting the #vanlife. I bought a 1982 air-cooled Vanagon Westfalia. I spent quarantine rigging it out to live in with Goal Zero yeti 1000 solar, Dometic CFF 35 cooler, foot pump sink and more! Please subscribe if you'd like to see more!

It's clear a lot of time was put into this build to give it those personal and practical touches. Beautiful setup dude!

Good stuff Jake! As a downhill skater myself, that under the bench storage setup blew my mind haha! So sick!

[@86Hilux22R]

cool to see someone else rocking an aircooled vanagon. They get so much hate for no reason.

So stoked to see this! I'm looking at a 1981 Westfalia on Sunday. Looking to get it so I can go camping with my son. We live in Ocean City, MD.

[@OnelifeVanlife]

It's a really nice T3, well done 🙃 Best regards

[@jakekuick]

Thanks!!

[@garyp.7501]

Nice idea to put a cutting board on the forward table! I'll have to do that! I have the mount from the rear table where I added a Rocky Mountain drawer.

[@JennaDaugherty02]

[@bkf3857]

I envy you! I got caught up in the corporate rate race! Lol.

[@jakekuick]

Its never too late to leave it all behind and get a van!

[@Fitforacting]

What was your lowball offer? Great video btw 🔥

[@dta97392]

Nice video. ? Do u have to climb up and unlock those lift assist struts all the time ? Or just leave in unlock possibility if that’s possible? Thx

[@cole3397]

More van vids please

[@uniwerksdesign]

Like.

[@lianessyes7238]

Very cool. I'm curious about the specs and how much you paid for it. Have fun and enjoy the ride!

[@jakekuick]

Its an 82 air-cooled gas engine (1.9L?) I scooped it up for 7K and put a few thousand into it!

[@noneovyerbusiness4909]

I wonder what kind of gas mileage did he get with it?

[@jakekuick]

this Air-cooled van got 11-14mpg depending on how you drive it. I would pay close attention to gas mileage as it was usually how I determined when to refill (the fuel gauge didn't work most of the time). It got 19mpg for a bit when I was in the high mountains.

[@vaedasventures]

where did you get this sink/fridge setup ???

[@stringsnare]

man i really want to do this. how much did you pick it up for?

[@jakekuick]

You should! I got the van for $8k

[@stringsnare]

@@jakekuick that is crazy good price. I cant find them like less than 20k CAD!

[@BozardsInAlaska]

How much did you find her for?
