New guy from Gabriola BC.
We got a 77 Dodge camper van at a reasonable price. Worked on most everything, then went to the Arctic Ocean. Did more work last winter and went to Yellowstone. This winter I will be doing engine and gear box work. 025 we will go down the left coast highway to New Mexico. Will have a personalized plate for 025, says TUKVAN.
are you back on gabriola now? have you been to coachella/palm springs and might you think about it for next fall and winter.
We have postponed any trip to the US, until things become more sane.
So, late next week we will go to the top left of Vancouver Island.
From there we are not sure where. Last winter, 024 025, I removed the engine and gearbox for up grades. This will be the fits trip since I did that work. One kayak is now on tne side of the camper van, and the small bike is on the back. Any more gear and we will have to tow a trailer, which I have. Hope you folks have a good camping year.
That sounds incredible! A 1977 Dodge camper van has so much character, and it’s awesome that you’ve already taken it on big adventures like the Arctic Ocean and Yellowstone. Doing your own repairs and upgrades really makes the journey that much more personal. The plan to cruise down the coast to New Mexico in 2025 sounds perfect, and that TUKVAN plate is such a great touch—it tells a whole story in one word.
We’re in a bus now since I adopted a family, but my 1973 high top Dodge Travco camper van is in secure storage if I ever need it. Perfect for 1-2 people, but too cramped for more. I love it because it’s so reliable & has so little to go wrong with it.
