That looks like Pat Callaghan's green '77 adventurwagen that burned completely in 15 minutes last summer near The Dalles, Oregon. He was coming back from a camping trip- first trip in the new bus. He had replaced half the fuel lines- but not all. If this is his Bus, coincidently this is the same bus I installed a gas heater in three years ago for the PO. He has offered this warning many times too- make sure all the fuel lines are replaced at least every ten years, not every twenty. Wasn't the heater that started the fire- it was 100 degrees out that day. Robert K 1982 Westfalia
