"Why not go to a newer Eurovan rather than creating a
bastard vehicle that only a Vanagon Extremist would
own.
I've met a lot of Eurovan owners in campogrounds that
are retired folks and they buy their vans with
extended warranties and are free to go wherever they
want.
They all seem contented with power steering, power
windows, Air conditioning, power lift Pop-top, roll
out side canopy"

HEY! Theres a reason why the Vanagon is still being
made in South Africa. Its so you can safely out run
lions tigers and elephants. No really, Africa has some
of the worst road conditions in the world, and do you
think any mini-vans could take on these conditions? Ha
HA HA. So I dont think they dont sell many Eurovans in
Africa and it must be becouse a Eurovan is built like
a Mini-van and would not last in AFRICA IMO
Plus Africa is very poor and most folks there need a
family transporter thats not going to break down under
extreme conditions like a Mini-van "with power
steering, power windows, Air
conditioning, power lift Pop-top"-All this crap is
designed to break so you have to go to the VW dealer
and buy thier proprietary parts for hundreds of
dollars
