  • A short film about a 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon aka Falkor the Luck Wagon. This van holds a special place in our hearts as it does for Amy McCool, Falkor's owner for the last 4 years. Follow her Instagram @IWanderWild
    The solar and hot water mods that have been added to this van over the last few years have been kitted and installed by Kevin at VeeDub Day Spa. Check him out on Instagram @VeeDubDaySpa
    Thanks to everyone who helped us with this short film!

    Your dressed to the nines, finest jewelry, hosting a lavish dinner party and that little voice in your head saying, no. That takes a lot. Amy, congratulate you on your choose.

    As a mechanic I've worked on several aircooled and watercooled Vanagons. If you keep up with the maintenance, they are awesome. The ride is superb.
    Great short film.

    I lived in my syncro for almost 2 years with my dog. I’m a doctor. I didn’t have to, I just liked it. I own 2 Syncros now including an original westfailia high top from Germany. I’m more settled now, but the dog and the vans are still at the center of my adventures. That looks like Wyoming. I hope you have a furnace. They make winter pretty nice.

    Amy, I'm fascinated with your story behind it & how it all started. It's not just about campervan & overland but includes our personal life & our happiness. You've probably made one big decision to move ahead with your dreams & see the world. Everyone has the similar dream but not everyone has that privilege.

I just loved it then life happened, but I'm glad to say I'm back in the market been looking for your exact model. 91 vanagon it's the last of the fun driving vws(eurovans stink) as far as I'm concerned. Great video and I'm happy u found what you were or are looking for. Happy Trails
