Ep. 5 | 2700 miles later.. VW Roadtrip to Buses by the Bridge

We made it! After thousands of miles, we finally reached Lake Havasu for Buses by the Bridge, but not without some wild moments along the way!

In this episode of VW Garage Talk, Dan joins us to recap the final leg of our cross-country VW adventure, from Arizona desert highways to camping with 300+ VW buses.

We talk about:

• Roadside surprises & last-minute detours

• The magic of VW camping events vs. traditional car shows

• The insane lineup at BBB & our favorite buses we spotted

• Why this event is not just for VW lovers, but a must for anyone

• What it’s like to travel in a VW with friends.

From quirky roadside stops to sunsets over the desert and meeting amazing VW friends, this journey has been one for the books. Tune in for laughs, road trip tales, and all the great VW community vibes!
