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.

Inexpensive Interior Lighting
Interior lighting in my Vanagon has been a struggle for me. I've always wanted to upgrade my lighting and add more but I haven't been able to decide on any one particular style of LED lighting option. I've probably ordered no less than a dozen different types of LED lighting solutions in order to install but haven't been happy with any of them. I felt I needed something in order to hold me over until I find the perfect solution. Who knows, this may be it.

Take Photos of Your Van
I want to reach out to our community with an important suggestion that many owners overlook: take photos of your Vanagon/Bus. I’m not talking about photos of your van in front of a cool waterfall or at an awesome campsite. I mean plain, generic photos of your van by itself, with nothing else in the background.
