Hi everyone,

I have an '80 Westfalia.  It's working OK, with a
rebuilt engine.  But this vehicle is 22+ years old.
How long should I really hold on to a vehicle of this
age, and keep rebuilding and repairing it?  Does a
time come when, because of the fraility of certain
unrepairable items, such as the insulation on the
wires throughout the van, it doesn't make sense to
maintain this van?  It probably won't make sense to
take this van on a long road trip in 50 years.  Well,
between then and now, when should I bail out and look
to get something else?  I'm not saying I don't like
the van, but I'm just trying to get a sense for how
long a person should hold on to a vehicle as a real
workable get-around and travel auto.
Thanks for your comments,
Phil
