If I could get an excellent, reliable camper of the same size, similar sized engine, same or better road clearance, and with the same camping outfit, but a modern vehicle that I could simply maintain without constant concerns, maybe 40K, I'd have it in a flash. Oh, and no skylight. I've always considered that just a goofy, not very useful thing on any vehicle. Maybe for rhino watching with a bigger opening. But if I could get what I want, then no more Vanagon. Who wants to be trying to trouble shoot a failure in a downpour, or on the side of a freeway? Of course, I try to keep it up to snuff, to minimize that, and I must say I've never had it happen. But .......... . and I really don't like to be always fixing something. I want to get out an enjoy where I want to be. Good luck with yours, mcneely |
