My life with vanagons began when my wife, Mary Ellen who at the time was
suffering from severe degenerative disk issues stated she no longer wanted
to camp in tents because it was too hard on her back. I began to look for
alternatives and found a '90 Westy MV that I thought was perfect. We could
still use all the camping gear that we owned and had a nice comfy bed to
sleep in. When I lost my MV I bought a Toyota FJ Cruiser and we were back to
the tent and/or cabin and found it wasn't quite the same. When she said to
me one day, "when are you going to find us another camper?" I realized that
she really loved the thing as much as I did. Although I couldn't find a nice
MV to replace my old one I did find a very nice '87 full camper in Texas
that we just love.
