My wild guestimate on shipping a vanagon rear hatch door from Oregon to the east coast... 200 to under 300 dollars. After a certain combo of size and weight .......I use trucking and not ups or US post office.... An engine, crated up, west coast to east coast is 200 to 250ish at the 'par-good' . Possibly more as it gets bigger/heavier. I shipped ( via truck and barge ) a whole westy top to Alaska from Oregon and I think that was 600 dollars. So a hatch to the east coast from the west ....perhaps 250 with luck, possibly less. I never really know until I take the packed up item over to the shipping place and they weigh it and give the price. However, I can get quotes ....I give them the dimensions and weight ...of course I'm guessing at the weight ..... If their quote is way off after they actually weigh it, they would adjust accordingly.

I wish I had thought to ask the list for available rust-free hatch and slider.
Maybe it is not too late ... Does anyone in New England have a good, rust-free hatch for an 83.5 V'gon?
I am guessing it would be prohibitively expensive to UPS from South or West rust-free zones??

Hey Jeff.
Nice web site. I had never seen it before. I'd encourage others to take a look if they haven't done so already.
