I’m planning a major trip across the USA in my VW camper. In order to stay comfortable I need air conditioning and heating. It’s a massive challenge that most people won’t go through but in my pursuit of vintage excellence in these old cars I am going to retrofit an original VW accessory A/C system with an electric compressor and components on a system I will build myself - this will be very welcome when I’m driving in the hot weather. Then as an added heat source for cold camping I’m going to get an original VW BA6 gas heater working for the cabin heat. Finding original rare accessories is not easy, they often arrive broken or missing parts so sometimes you have to buy 2 systems to make 1. I lucked out and found these 2 systems for a bargain price of $60each. Now I have the parts to finish my initial A/C blower project and I’m one step closer to making this a super bus!
Thanks to Lance off Samba for the good deal and shipping them out. Now my buddy Cam doesn’t need to worry about making vents for me on a 3D printer.
