Subject:      EVC or Westy Syncro ... Ultimate Trip Vehicle?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Folks,


Interested in input on comparing a EVC vs Westy Syncro vs Vanagon Westy for
a long term adventure.


Which Vehicle do you feel would be the best overall choice.


Assume both vehicles have been properly prepped and reconditioned prior to
embarkation.




Trip  Assumptions:


1. Duration .. continuous travel for approx. 1 yr (US, Mexico, Canada,
Alaska, Nova Scotia etc)
2. Gas Mileage
3. Ability to travel into  moderate back country (off road) areas.
4. Parts Availability
5. Repair Availability (Breakdowns & Preventative Maintenance)
6. Travel Comfort
7. Overall reliability
8. Cost of travel (Maint, Fuel, etc)
9. Anything I have forgotten.


Thanks,


Larry Chase
