Hello,



            First time mailing to the list, we have been watching for a
while and really do appreciate all the great material.



I have a 88 Westy, standard and I don't believe in fact I know the gear oil
has never been checked or changed. I know this b/c the fill and drain bolts
are what looks like rusted to the casing. I purchased a bottle of "S' Ok"
from Vans Automotive and it is okay. Exactly like it sounds. I also have the
Empi 17mm transmission drain socket. Man this is a stubborn %&#*@.



On another note I have pulled the fridge to install my new fan hoping this
would help any pointers or references I should check such as WebPages or
articles. I would like to give I a once over before I put it in. Do these
ever need any type of charging? I flipped it on its side in the house and it
started dripping something, didn't have any type of odor possibly water?



Last questions, a good place to find out what's happening such as big
bus/van events, perhaps a yearly calendar. See we missed Everybus but hope
to make it next year. Coming from Texas it takes some planning. Also what
other mailing lists might you recommend, possibly a conversion some day once
we run the 2.1 down.



Thanks again
