    Willy is the greatest character. What a personality. Glad to see a bit of this part of our country. Here in the Northeast, we have some beautiful parks as well.

    My Pertronix story: Pertronix SVDA Ignitor III distributor, .032 Flamethrower III coil and generator equipped 1600. It never ran quite right with a stumble below ~2500 rpm and finally burnt out the coil. I replaced the .032 ohm coil with a Pertronix 1.5 ohm coil. Cured the stumble and so far so good. Turns out that the generator can't supply the voltage needed for the low ohm .032 coil and eventually cooked the coil. 1.5 ohm coil or alternator is the secret sauce.

      THIS makes sense and helps to explain my theory of generators being the issue. Jake and I both now running Bosh Blue coils. fingers crossed

    I went to school at Stephen F. Austin S.U. in Nacogdoches from 1973-1978. I had friends with split window and Bay Window buses, and we camped all over the Piney woods. Including Ratcliff. I met my wife in a math class, and to impress her I took her on a picnic to Ratcliff in my 1971 Bug. It must have worked because 48 years later we are still together. We camped at Ratcliff a few years ago when we came to Texas from Wyoming to visit family in Longview and Austin. It’s still a beautiful spot, especially in spring with the red bud and Dogwoods blooming. Its cold and snowy in Wyoming now. So its time to replace the boots on the CV joints on my 1978 VW camper bus and replace the leaking oil filler tube. And i have new bushings for the shifter. Got to get ready for spring in March. Or April. Or May.😎👍

      Holy smokes Bill! Yes, you know the area very well! I had always stayed at Mission Tejas SP when Jake and I would head to my Dad's up in Texarkana. Now, Ratcliff is gonna be on my list of best places to camp in Texas!

      If you go through Daingerfield on your way to Texarkana, checkout Daingerfield State Park. And Tyler has a State Park. Both are beautiful.😎

    When I got my ghia built last year, I put a Pertronix flamethrower coil on it. It's the only part that's ever failed on me (so far). I run an alternator, and Pertronix electronic dizzy.

      Since I don’t drink coffee or hot chocolate, I figure green tea is the next best thing. I should make my own flavor, Velvet Green Tea!

    Camping from NC to Austin, TX is not something we'll repeat too often, but it was a wonderful set of family memories when we did it in our Eurovan. Our family has been camping with Scouts more than the VW recently, but it's still building memories.

    Word from a part time plumber. Look into a 5 lb propane tank and see how much money you save over those 1lb cans. I have a 2013 bug and i find a place for my 5 lb every time i go out, that looks like a Real nice time. Thank You for sharing! I have to agree with the coffee drinkers, the day will not start until i get my cup of coffee!

    Nice trip! Glad you all had fun. I have been running pertronix ignition since prob 2003. Never had an issue. I run flame thrower 3 ohm coil, electronic ignition and 8mm wires but just switched to 7mm wires recently with no noticeable change. Same Coil and ignition in my beetle for 20 years

    Great trip. Interesting history. Is that a small St. Christopher statue on your dash?

    • @TheBusGuru-kn1dt
      @TheBusGuru-kn1dt 7 месяцев назад +1

      It is a St Francis statue. My very first teaching position was at the greatest school on the planet, St Francis Episcopal Day School in Houston. So, as homage to St Francis and the fact he was the Patron Saint of Animals, I have a tiny little St Francis riding with me in Jerry the Bus.

    Just a thought: try taking some cold brew coffee on your camping trips. Just a friendly suggestion.

      We picked up some cans of cold brew during this trip to keep in the fridge as a backup.

      @TheBusGuru-kn1dt 7 месяцев назад

      Generator or alternator?
      And, the 7 years might be the key too, all the ones we are having issues with are within about year or 2 old.
