Thought I'd update the list. The Westy (described below) is still for
sale, but the 4-5 person tent, the Carver Propex P4 heater and the
VWCanvas canvas awning have sold.

I took the Westy in today for its regular oil change and checkup. I told
the people at the dealership where I take it that it is for sale. (The
mechanic who works on Vanagons there owns one himself and has done right
by mine.)

When I went to pick it up this afternoon, the mechanic had made me an
offer to buy it. It wasn't close enough to my price range, but I thought
that bode well for its condition.

It just got listed in my local Wantadvertiser this week. I hope to sell
it soon, so I can get the used motorhome the broken shoulder now
requires. For those still interested, here are the details:

91 Vanagon  GL Westfalia Camper, 110,000 original miles.  In near-mint
condition. Flash Silver Metallic. Stove, sink, refrig. work fine. Auto
trans. PS, PB, PW, A/C, pop-top roof and upper bunk, rear seat opens into
bed. Has new Catalina A& E awning fixed to rain gutter- - no holes in
body. Runs & looks great.   Had new struts for rear hatch installed, oil
changed every 3000 mi., regular maintenance, no rust (spent its first 6
years in Georgia, then only 2 mild winters here in New England).  Bentley
manual, owner's manual included. Has all curtains and equipment. Rear
table does  screw on properly (I hadn't  figured it out)  All  in great
condition. Asking  $15,600. Live in Natick Ma, about 17 miles west of
Boston. RSVP if interested.

Hate to sell, but physical therapist and doctor agree that with broken
shoulder I probably won't be able to lift the pop-top roof for a year or
more, if then.  Grr. However, I am making progress with  the shoulder, so
there is a bright side.
