I've owned an '80 AC camper, '82 Diesel camper, an '88 GL (w/all power options) and an '89 Bluestar (w/all power options); the comparisons hands down favor the '86 and up models, with a strong bias towards '89 and newer versions. Better brakes, bigger engines, power steering, power options, more modern interiors...in other words, it's entirely subjective, but naturally my opinion trumps all others On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 9:39 AM, Higginbotham, David A. < dhigginbotham@hazenandsawyer.com> wrote: > I know that it is accepted that the later year vanagons are better than > the earlier vanagons, why?
