This hack comes courtesy of Chad DeRosa. Chad lives in his 1991 Vanagon Westy (by choice) and has come up with several hacks that we like. Because Chad lives in Washington, he has to battle the cold winters in his Vanagon. In order to survive the winter months, Chad needed a heating solution. He selected the Mr. Heater Big Buddy propane space heater. The Big Buddy runs on 1-lb propane cans, but Chad decided to hard wire his heater into his Westy’s propane tank. Hit the jump to see how he did it.

File this one under crazy paint jobs. The base color of the van looks like a candy apple red, and there appears to be a logo for the singing duo, “The Carpenters,” on the front door. The rest of the van is just nuts. It has lots of character though, and I love the roof rack. The VW hub caps and white wall tires really round this one out.
