We're up in Idaho and we've got Elizabeth Van Giesen who's my sister-in-law and this is
their incredible van again. She's gonna give us a little tour of what it looks
like inside. This thing is so it's it's completely mint. Everything's original
and it's an incredible shape so go ahead.
Alright, we've got our 1985 Westfalia van again.
Here's our kitchen area.
We've got the faucet that hooks up to I think it's a 15 gallon water tank, no
30 gallon water tank. Propane stove here. Everything works great.
We've got the propane ran fridge as well. Not necessarily with cold things in
there. It can run off of propane electric or if we or I guess propane
battery or electric if we're somewhere with an electric hookup. It has some
great little storage under here and in here for all of our kitchen items and
more storage. Here's our dining room table that can swivel out and lock into
place. It can also be raised up to go on top of that counter space. There's
another little mount yes if we wanted to move it there. Get another table. We
have more storage for all of our supplies as well as a closet back there.
Closet rod and everything. Mirror. We have a little bit more storage underneath the
seat. All of those sort of items. As far as sleeping goes, the seat pulls out the whole
thing. It's about the size of a full-size bed. It's not very comfortable so we
have a sleeping pad that we like to use and then the second sleeping area up
here you fold this out and then you need to hoist yourself up and you can get up
and sleep two up there. What else? The front seats do swivel. All right so this
is originally my husband's grandpa's van again and him and great-grandma went
all over the place and he was a meticulous record keeper so every time
he filled up with gas you know filled up with and then they did one where they
went Texas, Mississippi, Virginia. They ended up going all the way Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin. They went around the whole United States. And in the back, in the back, we've got our
engines under here so we've got to work on it. That's where you do and we've got more
storage back here for all of our goods. Curtains so we can enclose the whole
thing and make it dark at night. I think that's about it. This thing's awesome.
It's fun. Thanks for giving us the tour. Cool so I'm in the Van Giesen van again
and Elizabeth's giving us a tour of it. This thing is so awesome. Unfortunately
we're probably not gonna have time to like get out on the trail in it or
anything but it's just it's so cool. It's in beautiful condition. They can fit
their entire family. They've got four kids and they can all camp in it if they
need to and it's just so fun. It's such a throwback to the 80s that it's
unbelievable but everything. It's in nicer condition than new cars that I've
been in like. It's so cool.
