About 1997 the local VW lot had a '93 or '94 Eurovan hightop camper
conversion on their lot that I looked at very closely, a Canadian
conversion, name I can't remember, but quite nice.  I was seriously
considering making them an offer until I talked to one of their service
writers, a fellow amateur astronomer.  He said he new very little about
that specific van, but that they had recently had a Eurovan of the same
year in with a bad auto transmission.  It had taken the daeler four
months to get the needed parts and had cost the owner nearly $6000 to
get back on the road. As I said, this was about 1997 and things could be
very different now.
I passed on the vehicle.  BTW, a month or so later I was talking to the
local mechanic that did a lot of work on the three vehicles. Owned at
that time.  He had done the Buyers Inspection for the people that did
buy the van and had given it a clean bill of health.
