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

    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.

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

    • @jakekuick
      @jakekuick  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
