It's been over a year and a half with the VW, and I've been getting a lot of questions on it, how the upkeep is going, how much work and time does it take to maintain. While it has not been glamorous, I've spent more time fixing vs driving it, it has been fantastic and I know it will eventually be way more reliable than it is now. The family has made a ton of memories in it already, and that's really what it's all about. Here's some of those updates, and some of the items that I've been able to tackle in that time.#paddlingmixtape #seakayaking #optoutside #explore #vwvanagon #westfalia #camperbus kayak_hipsterSeptember 24, 2020
