I just finished reading a couple stories in the lenti.med.umn.edu/pub/vanagon files that you might find helpful. They are a bit dated, but I'm sure much of what is in there is useful. There are stories of a trans Sahara trip, a a trans Australia trip, and a couple who drove to South America, all by VW bus. The trans Sahara trip is really something, y'all should check it out. The VW is truly an international vehicle. Eug,
