Subject:Vanagon V.S. Tree (need part)
From:Graham Mingst

Went away camping last week in the Adirondacks.  A strong little microburst
came through and downed 7 trees on my campsite.  Unfortunately one fell on
my Westy.  It took out the luggage rack and bent the van up a bit.  I need
a replacement white luggage section  for my Westy.  Anyone have one for
sale...

I (still) have a Shadyboy awning that was up at the time.  It got clipped
pretty hard, but just bent itself out of the way and snapped back into
place when the tree rolled onto the windshield.

Overall the frame held up very well.  I was in it at the time and man what
a shock....  Lots on noise and glass, as the windshield shattered.

Also I know that someone was talking about them chrome windshield filler
strip a few weeks back, Is this a dealer only item, or do Ken, Ron, etc
carry this strip.

Thanks,
Graham
