    What a great tour. you and your wife are very talented. Thank you for the tour, your bus is a beautiful example of the great splitty! I am really enjoying your videos of you bringing your other splitty back to life . I always look forward to your next videos.

    You've done a great job fitting this out. It's beautiful and practical. Having travelled in one of these in the 60's.

    I had a '66 Sundial camper. It was a step thru. I sure loved it and wish something were made like that today.

    Thanks for another great video. I enjoyed watching your camper build. I also have a 64 that I believe was originally what they called a microbus (?) that I hope to make into a similar camper. I actually have two sets of camper furniture, but will end up probably making my own using the original stuff for patterns. I do not possess your metal working skills, but am a decent woodworker. Thanks for your encouragement through your videos!

    I was wondering if you’d ever tour this! This is the BEST tour of a bus I’ve ever watched! I really appreciate your depth of knowledge. You have an owner/restorer/caregiver/driver relationship that offers an intimate experience. It’s easy to see how much you appreciate your business. Thanks for sharing!

      totally unbelievable how you made everything lightweight. Hollowing out the backsides with a router. and super strong. I didnt even think about doing that.

    Thank you for the tour. In your closing photos I spotted the Wells River Vermont Welcome Center, that’s my town! I live about a quarter of a mile from that building.

    In 1958 my parents had one pretty much like this one. My dad built most of inside with a sink, stove, a bed that lowered from the roof where my parents slept over the bed below. I slept on the front seat
    My mom made a tarp tent like his. 5 of us traveled around the US .

    I think you engineered your camper better than Westfalia did. Like the fridge. that is really cool.

      and the trash can hanging on the vent. amazing idea there. I might use that one.

    Well this video of yours sold me, I just subscribed to your channel. Love the woodwork & thought you put into it. Watched the video of the crusty barndoor backing up at the Yarmouth car show. Keep up the good work.

    Well, amazing build and layout! Considering going from a 90 Westy to a Split bus, it was always the dream. Learning from using the Westy a few years, this is really the ideal layout for us, bedroom on wheels, live outside.

    Thanks for sharing a tour of your bus. The interior you built is just wonderful. The routing to reduce weight and hardwood radius corners on your cabinets are next level. I am restoring my 67 Kombi and will be taking a lot of inspiration from your layout and designs. I really like your fan upgrade in the the front air box to allow for air circulation when parked. Thanks again for the sharing the video and the detailed build report.

    Where's the portable metal working tools/table/everything? You have to fabricate while on vacation. Kids today!

    I just recently purchased a 1965 volkswagen micro bus deluxe and I am trying to figure out what my best option is to learn the original paint color original interior color whether parts are chrome or paint. Date of manufacture ect. Do you know how I could get a full vehicle report?

      There is an M plate behind the passenger seat. vw-mplate.com can decode it. You can get a birth certificate from VW. Split bus forum on Thesamba.com is a great resource.
