Honu spent the day with Melvin Powell @vantasticwe

Honu spent the day with Melvin Powell @vantasticwesty to get 200 watts of flexible solar panels. Installed to compensate for heat build up and to make Honu fully off grid as we prepare her for a winter in San Francisco. Melvin also added some theft proofing to help with security. Great person who really knows his craft!

Silver Star Needs an Awning....looking for a mount

Silver Star Needs an Awning....looking for a mounting rail and brackets...this van will be a while in development before Mexico...awning, lift, more modest running boards, larger tires....and if it is ever home again after a summer of doing laps to Glacier, Yellowstone we will start....be a while before we can go back to Mexico anyway.

Ever wonder about Baja Camping? Check out our trip

Ever wonder about Baja Camping? Check out our trip on www.chuckanutwestfalias.com and go to Stories to see this post. Plenty of tips and information to make a better experience. We don’t allow our rentals to travel that far....unpredictable roads and too far to offer support.

Camping helps us reflect on who we should be as people and as a nation. It brings to mind the words of President Jimmy Carter. “A strong nation, like a strong person,can afford to be gentle, firm,thoughtful,and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation,like a weak person,that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity” #Vote

Fall Memory..in the middle of summer we sometimes forget about the great weather that we have in the fall! This photo from last November. We still have some September-October openings....or maybe we will just pack one of the vans and go camping! #westcoastcamping#campingwithdogs#westylove #westycamping#fallcamping

Happy Pollinator Week! What can we do to stem the

Happy Pollinator Week! What can we do to stem the global decline of bee populations? At Chuckanut Westfalias we are helping the pollinators by keeping two hives of bees, by growing bee attracting plants and flowers in our potager garden (a French kitchen garden based on the philosophy of living with nature by growing herbs, flowers and vegetables that compliment each other) and trying (so far unsuccessfully) to convince our new neighbor to stop spraying herbicides and pesticides every time he sees a chewed leaf or clover.Keeping bees and gardening really fits our lifestyle. Vanlife in fall and winter, and home life in spring and summer. #potagergarde#jardinpotager #pollinatorgarden #pollinators #pollinatorpartnership #beekeeping #beekeepers #savethebees #stopusingpesticides #cleanourplanet #stubbornneighbor

What are your weekend plans? I am going into work

What are your weekend plans? I am going into work on Saturday and grind the flywheel and install a new clutch.. How does this happen? Please don’t rent a manual transmission van unless you have a lot of recent experience. Also, never back up on leveling blocks or up hills, the gearing is not set up for backing under load, always drive forward. #vanrentals #vanagonrepairs #peacevans #smallcarperformance #vanafonlife#vanlifediaries #vanagonrepairs #vanlife
