I guess that's me, a new Wannabus. What should I aim for in a bus? I would ideally like an easy to work on, comfortable, roomy, easy to get parts for Camper. Does this iron out any models? I had thought of a 86-87, but am drifting back to 81-82, am I out to lunch here? The price difference is drastic, but the aircooled models would seem to have the edge in work-on ability in the engine compartment. Would I be loosing a great amount of hp/torque without a waterboxer? The Stories so far seem to relate to either woes in the water-cooled engine, or rust. No-one really complains about aircooled motors, or are you all just resigned to your fates? So - Do I get a 81 with a good body, or bite the bullet and get a 86?

Help!
