That is really cool building, amazing you met the architect! Keep us posted on the dream cruise. We have gone nearly every year for the last 7 or 8 years. Had to miss last year.

E9A39CEF-AB1D-487F-ABE9-726511F45C1D.jpeg Getting ready for a long camping trip with my boys. We have used the fridge on shore power before but never had the auxiliary battery hooked up. My bus was missing the relay and the wiring to the alternator when I got it. A few years ago I bought a wiring k...

Re: 76 Westfalia Sweet Pickle

Not a repair necessarily buT a useful little item I also got front Bus-Ok as long as I was paying shipping from Denmark. A table leg stand that uses the jack mount. My contribution was a little leg I made from 3/4 in pipe. This way the bottom of the table leg won’t get chewed up. 85994D96-BD5E-4C56-...

Re: 76 Westfalia Sweet Pickle

New sill cover finally came in. Everyone was out of it except Bus-Ok in Denmark. He was really nice and responded quickly but took over 25 days to show up.

Re: 76 Westfalia Sweet Pickle

Put the main cabinet back in and replaced the main gas line while I had it out. Was able to get it at Home Depot. The original had 3/8 connectors as was 48” long. Most everyone else only had the 1/2 connectors. Resealed with the yellow Teflon tape and checked for leaks. No bubbles! Also cleaned and ...

Re: 76 Westfalia Sweet Pickle

The rest of the wood looked so good I could not leave the sliding door panel alone. There was some kind of oil or ? In the wood that reacted funny with the varnish. It turned white and curled for lack of a better word. Only in the one spot. Sanded it out somewhat, not perfect but an improvement over...

Re: 76 Westfalia Sweet Pickle

Ha, you remember that! Yes, same bus thanks for helping push it a couple times that weekend! It was time to freshen it up. Most on the interior was original and we have used it a lot over the last 6 years. Did some mechanical stuff first though. :lol:
