First Trip with Buster Brown
For many years we owned a 1984 VW Westfalia camper van and enjoyed trips to the East coast of Canada, Quebec, Ontario and one memorable venture to Kentucky with our two boys Robert and Carey.
The boys grew up and went off to university and both got married. We sold our house in the city and moved to cottage country with one acre of land and a house on the water. Renovations and gardening became our new hobbies as well as boats, boat lifts and docks. We were not using our van any more and decided to sell. After a few years, we realized we had made a mistake.
In the fall of 2016 we started looking for another van and finally found one to our liking in the spring of 2017. It was a bit of a 'fixer upper' but we saw the potential.
Our new van, an 1986 model has a name, "Buster Brown", and we will be heading out on our first road trip one day from now. The last time we camped in a van was approximately 20 years ago so this will be interesting to see how we manage.
Here is a photo of Buster Brown in July at the garage parking lot awaiting an overhaul.
I will post up more pics tomorrow when we are packing up.
