Comments: To: maded@GTE.NET, VanagonList <Vanagon@Vanagon.com>

For carrying the boat check out
http://www.masterbuilt.com/98hhhtml/hhpg1.html. I got a "hitch haul" with a
1 1/4" receiver from Walmart. They stock one with a 2" receiver, but the 1
1/4" receiver one they special ordered for me. Cost was $69.95. Of course
you'd need a receiver hitch on the Westy to attach it. Might be a better way
to go than pulling a trailer.
For oil I use Mobil 1 15W50. If your engine has a lot of miles on it, it
might not be wise to switch to a synthetic oil though. Some folks have found
that some oil leaks start when they switch to synthetic with an older
engine. I started after the break-in period was through on my rebuilt
engine.
