Okay, so, our Palm Beach seemed to inspire my Daughter such that when she wanted a cool car she chose a VW Vanagon Westfalia. I have it sitting in my garage, it still doesn’t run…
Today driving into Home Depot I come upon a nice little white GMC Motorhome with a tan Westfalia as a toad! I wasn’t able to wait to visit with the owner, but they are among the 1%’ers of cool in my book.
Only in Fremont!

They still get a pretty good price on those VW vans.

Nice Larry my youngest son is nuts about his Westfalia. I sent him your picture maybe he can think about putting a GMC in front of his too.

Remind him that the GMC is pulling. The Westy simply hasn't enough oomph to push!

I was hoping he could figure that out. I might add he is a banker and hates working on greasy stuff except his beloved Westy.

That would be a nice option but most RV parks around here now limit spaces to one Rv regardless of the size. In days gone by it was the size of the space. I recall putting 3 motor homes on one forest service camp site and splitting the $6 a day use 3 ways and we were at a water front site at Lake Shasta in cal. That same site is now only 1 RV and reservation only for a lot more money. As far as the motor conversion my son said it would cost him more then he paid for the Westy to have it done to his he isn't that much of a mechanic and he is too far for me to help( Portland Oregon ).

From an aesthetic standpoint, a pre-79 bus would look better behind a GMC...same rounded edges. I still have one of those around here somewhere...Hmmm.
Not real sure about the westy, as it reminds me of Carlin's bit about taking your stuff on vacation (a smaller version of your stuff). But as a toad, a vw bus has a lot of storage room inside - whether bringing back trinkets or a spare transmission from a trip...
Just no AC...
