@greenman,
I think I am not late to put a comment on this post! We are in different time zones, so I just seen your post!
First I would like to tell you, Wow those are absolutely brilliant photography of your latest visit to the "BC Rocky Mountains"
Thank you very much for your phone we could see a clear photo shot of your travel!
Then you came to the most interesting part of the story: "1985 VW Westfalia van"
I think you can modified it like this: A mobile home :D
And also well suited to Off Road experiences:
That would be an awesome idea friend! Hope you will modified the vehicle and show us a great travelling experience again!
Cheers~
