I just started recently carrying these.  I am out at this second but have
more coming in the next few days - selling a lot of these to people in the
Midwest and East Coast.  The problem is no one is doing proper preventative
maintenance, .e: cleaning the tube and lubing the cable every couple of
years.  This tube fits ALL Vanagons
