Westfalia Wire Chase
I have my Solar panel wiring entering the van just above the rear closet in my Westfalia. I needed to run these wires to the front of my van where my Solar Controller will be installed. By drilling a single hole in the rear closet I was able to do so pretty easily. I'll detail out the process below.

Compact Camp Towels
I've never even considered replacing my standard cotton bath towels until I camped out with a fellow TexasVanagons member Trey that showed me his Micro Fiber towel. I was impressed with how thin and compact it was and my hunt began to find the perfect Camp Towel. By perfect I mean a towel that was very absorbent yet inexpensively priced, less than $20 per towel. I found just that!

Installing A New Floor
Back in July 2013 when I flew to Phoenix to take a look at this 1987 Vanagon Westfalia I found on Craigslist I knew one of the things I did not like about it was the floor a previous owner had installed. It was a 2"x2" ceramic tile complete with mastic and grout which means a lot of added weight plus it wasn't too easy on my eyes.
