Sounds like you are local - are you taking your van to John Brown's Buses, weekend of Oct 7 near Harper's Ferry?

:::The Labor Day trip to the C&O Canal went so well that
:::we took a week and drove the Westy up I-81 to the St.
:::Lawrence River and the 1000 Islands. Lovely trip and
:::the van performed admirably. My bravest moment was a
:::15.15 gallon refill driven with a broken odometer, so
:::I had no idea of the distance or fuel mileage I was
:::getting. Camped out 6 of the 8 nights and generally
:::behaved like tourists.

:::I spotted a few Vanagons along the way; notably a
:::white syncro at Hersheypark, an aircooled
:::Adventurewagen for sale in Burlington, Vermont (decent
:::body with recent orange and white paint, interior
:::looks like it was removed but for the front seats;
:::call Better Bus and Bug on S. Champlain Street), and
:::several other Westies in that town. I nearly
:::despaired of seeing another one in use camping until
:::the last night on Mt. Greylock in Massachusetts, where
:::we landed next to a maroon one with nice mods;
:::Shadyboy awning, Fiamma rack and three-window canvas.
:::
:::
:::We can’t go camping this weekend because the house
:::without wheels needs some work, and it sounds like the
:::radiator fan is running constantly on the van, so I
:::have to check that.
