Subject:Should I Return to the Fold?

Hi All,
I'm new to the list and am considering getting a pop-top camper.  Should
I?  I drove VW buses during the late 70's and 80's; first a '71 bus and
then a '79.  I really liked the enormous room and great mileage but wanted
more creature comforts as I got older.  I am now spoiled by air
conditioning and a bit of power for acceleration.  We drive an older '88
Toyota Land Cruiser and a Toyota Avalon.  I'm fantasizing about a pop-top
camper for fly fishing trips to the Eastern Sierras of California.  The
Toyotas are bullet-proof and have got me used to almost no repair bills.

Here's the question--Can a fifty-year-old return to his bus days *and* get
air conditioning and a bit of power?  What year(S) campers seem to be the
most maintenance free?  Should I look into a Vanogan or Eurovan?

Thanks for any help you can give an old rookie,
Dave
