Hello all, This is a fantastic list and the archives are already helping cure those small baffling items… We picked up our first Westy (A lovely ’89 manual with comparatively low miles and great body!) on the 17th. We have the Bentley in one hand and the keys in the other. Beyond the usual paperwork rigmarole we’ve washed it to take care of the crud from the freeway drive home, started detailing the dash, and began working on the garage so it has safe haven during those Minnesota winters. The engine is a real sweetie that has only tasted the right coolant - and I plan to tend it well so it stays happy. But I want to ask you folks where you’d begin as a new Vanagon Westfalia owner. Where would you start? A short trip? Complete detailing? Rigorous camping accessories testing? -Julia |
