  • Winter Snowstorm camping in my 1979 VW Bus. 1 foot of snow coming in this spring snowstorm. Probably the last one of the year. I went back out looking for a cozy getaway one last time this year.
    I brought some dank beers! Reviewed Northwoods Brewing's IPA and drank some Flume by Definitive Brewing and will post my reviews on Untappd. Follow me there RealHoppyCamper

    Check out www.HoppyCamperNH.com for some of the gear I wear on camera and also the glassware. Let me know if you want anything there! I'm wearing the hat and hoodie I have available here:

    Cooked some Cheeseburger Soup for a cozy, warm meal in the cold snow:

    It was super yummy! Just use less potatoes than I did haha! Oh and bring some hot sauce of your liking, it needs it.
    Thanks for watching and Gimme 'dem Subbies!

    Your stove setup is brilliant,Taking the stack out the window instead of cutting a hole in your vehicle or truck topper,Good job 👍

      Thanks my man, totally appreciate it. What I didn't cover was that if you saw early in the video my damper pipe had sheared off. So I didn't have a damper. Having the 2 90° elbows in the piping totally acted as a damper and worked perfectly! I highly recommend this setup. Thanks for watching dude!

      Thanks a lot dude. Of course you know where this was! And how I came in and went because why wouldn't you haha! As always, good seeing you. I had a funny incident with a sticker. May do a short about it, then you'll have something to find. Weather's getting good!

    Dude honestly I could live in that bus. The cheese burger soup looked awesome.

    • @hoppycamper
      @hoppycamper  6 месяцев назад +2

      Dude I could too! Does get a little tight after a few days in the snow but so cool. I'd usually pop the top but keeping it down helps keep it warm. The top makes all the difference. If I had to live in it, I'd want a high top so you could at least stand up. Thanks for watching buddy!

    This channel should be MUCH BIGGER than it is! You have the know how and have done so many different things with so many different "Items"! That was hard to word. I cannot believe you have a VW van in that kind of shape! So AWESOME!! Do you mind if I ask what year the van is?

      @@hoppycamper When I was in my youth, I got to camp for one night in a VW Micro Bus. It was an amazing experience. I know it was made in the 1950's or 1960's, it had all of the windows around the top of it. My experience was when I was in my early teens, so that would have been roughly the mid 1970's. My apologies for calling your unit a Van, I knew better than that. I don't know why I said that. Another interesting note, that huge VW chrome metal piece on the hood I still have. The reason I have it is because those were my wife to be's initials and I knew the family that owned the van. VW was her initials until I ruined everything by marrying her some 40+ years ago!

      @@jonsymmonds1120 Haha super cool story man thanks for sharing! What a cool bunch of initials to have, never even met a VW, then you had to go and ruin it! haha I hope it worked out well for you and her. Don't you dare apologize, these things are called all manner of names (Samba, Kombi, Van) all the time! Glad you kept the chrome logo, I still have a white logo off a splittie from a junkyard in Georgia in the 90's, those were super cool busses with all that glass! I love seeing them, but these bay window busses are so much more useful and modern than those. But not nearly as pretty! Thanks for tuning in man!

    I so want a wood burner in my vdub now, that'll never throw an error or run your leisure battery flat like diesel heaters do 🤘🤘

    • @hoppycamper
      @hoppycamper  2 месяца назад

      That's what I'm saying man! No noisy clicking fuel pumps either! I always hated how they need battery power too. Plus, I've spilled diesel inside my GTI, took a year to mellow out! That was awful haha.
      And with this chimney setup, you never need a flue! Up, 90 right, across, and 90 up. I'd simply add a log every few hours. Awesome!

    What did you do all day on the second day? One trip to the river and beer time? I was hoping for some more snow adventures.

    • @hoppycamper
      @hoppycamper  6 месяцев назад +2

      Haha I waited till dark for the beer 🍻 (barely)! I wanted to focus a little more on the sensory side of this trip so I did some chilling some cooking. What I mostly did the second day was lay low and I brought my computer so I did some editing.

      Haha I can see why you'd think that! What you probably see is the the bumper. That's all danged up. The muffler is right before that and it's actually made by vintage speed out of Thailand, not a cheap setup but nothing on this is! Thanks for watching man 🍻

    Staying in a VW camper in the winter long-term will ruin the interior of the camper due to moisture! The vehicle condensates horribly on the inside the colder it gets outside! 😢
