George...jump in and swim.  Be smart and have some resources available like
http://www.vanagonauts.com/Vanagon-Rescue-Squad74.htm  and
http://www.vanagonauts.com/Things-to-do-for-new-vanagon-owners150.htm
and http://www.oldvolkshome.com/19to21.htm
or sell it.  Always have a few bucks in your pocket and a friend on speed
dial.
Happy Trails.
