Subject:      RE: Walkthrough Splitz

Hello -

I'll ask the *expert* later about how many walkthrough splits were made. Not sure if Anthony knows how many of our 1300 in the database are walkthroughs, good question! It might be in the "notes" field.

I've got the photocopies of the Devon Caravette info. I'll try to mail them at lunch, if not tomorrow. This info is from a book called "Volkswagen bus-camper-van, 1954-1967."

By the way, our 67 Westy that we camp in regularly is, indeed, a walkthrough! I like them a lot better than the full seat in front.

When we travel, "he drives, I navigate." While we are on the road, I occasionally get an iced tea or make up a sandwich from the icebox. Or sit and read at the table. Or stretch out on the bed. So I may appreciate that walkthrough more than Anthony does!

By the way, another great feature of our camper is the gasoline furnace, which is located on the left side of the engine. The middle of the cabin gets quite warm! We chauffeured a VW couple on their wedding day, this past Jan. 15, which was one of the coldest days this past winter in NJ (close to zero degrees F). Up in front (where we sat) there was no frost on the windows, and we could not see our breath! So this was a vast improve- ment over normal "bus heat" for such a cold day. Anyone interested in gas heaters/furnaces, let me know, we can recommend an expert in that area. E-mail me or call us at home, 201-347-4081 for more info.

Lori and Anthony (First there was air, then there was water...)
