Went looking for a Haynes manual and found this, which is one of the most interesting answerers to an unasked question that I've seen in some time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haynes_Manuals >>How Haynes manuals are written Haynes manuals are written by a pair of authors, and take between 20 and 30 man-weeks. A car or motorcycle is bought at the beginning of the project and sold at the end. Although the workshop phase of the project usually lasts for roughly 4 weeks, the vehicle is usually retained until the manual is in print.<< ````````````````` On a Vanagon note I went to the beach at Ocean Shores, WA today, it was a great day for the beach but I only saw one other Vanagon the whole day.
