Subject:      Are Eurovan replacing Vanagons? - trip sightings

I just went to Maine and stayed in a nice 40 site campground on the
ocean. (P=mail for details if interested)  After I arrived, I noticed
that there was another Vanagon Westy.
The the next day a Eurovan Camper from Canada.  Then the next day that
one left and another Eurovan camper from Mass. came in. It left and one
form Canada came in!  That's a;lot for 40 site place!

A bay window camper showed up.  Heck in 4 nights, there were 6 VW campers
that came thorugh, including mine!

At the Wooden Boat show, I saw another Vanagon Westy and Eurovan with a
awning (no pop-top)
One the way home, I saw an Air cooled Vanagon Westy (big wave) and then
two Eurovans (one with pop-top) at L.L. Bean.

Anyway - in North East at least, it seems like Eurovans are more common
than Vanagons!

I guess between rust, dropped valve seat and coolant leaks it is bound to
happen.
