Subject: Re: Side view mirrors, was: cheap exterior mirrors and pet peeves

Thanks for the info Steve, I didnt know the proper way
to set the mirrors on a BIG bus(I just got my
Commercial Carrier license a year ago) and your right,
the Westy's rear view mirror is useless, but not for
long, i plan to move it down a bit, after hearing some
older posts.

By the way I think you just proved my theory that tour
bus drivers, RV'rs, etc. who enjoy driving buses would
ALSO enjoy the Vanagon becouse it turns just like a
miniature tour bus am I wrong?

and I replied:

Good sir, I AM NOT AN OLD POST.  Perhaps advanced in years and experienced
but ... ;o)

Like a miniature tour bus?  It is, or at least mine is, a miniature tour bus
with accommodations for 2 in virtually any locale.  Calfunia plate "4WD
BNB", Bessie the charolais camper, mountain cabin, beach resort, forest
hideaway, desert refuge, ski chalet, urban pad.

Also doubles as daily conveyance, grocery schlepper, mobile office, birding
blind, fishing camp and...on and on.

With a vanagon each day can be a new adventure...

cheers,

better now)
