Just this same weekend at the Westys at Bon Echo campout here at Bon Echo Provincal Park near Cloyne, Ontario, there was an air-cooled van by the side of the road with number 3 rod poking itself through the case. He was on his way home Sunday around noon. I thought it sounded like it was knocking when he passed me and stopped for a chat before pulling out. Every campout I've been to this summer has had at least one Bus arriving or leaving on a tow truck. Maintenance folks, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ! Most of these Vanagons are now close to 25 years old and the bays and splittys are well into 30 ~ 40 years old !
