I thought about it some more. Basically, I don't have the room in garage to store. Also, I think for me it is fine to squirm around on my backside wearing junk clothes with flashlight in teeth and under Vanagon for inspection, from stem to stern about 3 times per year. This inspection will allow me to contact a competent Vanagon mechanic as necessary. As far as me doing important jobs myself? Nah. I don't have the equipment and tools and know-how anyway. And of course, I do the same 3X/year inspection of engine compartment from above. Always fun to see something that is just not right.
