Congratulations Maggie Dew!!!
        Welcome to the wonderful world of Vanagon travel. And take heart, using
Stan's formula ("Expect to spend as much on repairs, parts and
maintenance as you paid for the vehicle within the first year of
ownership"), you'll invest another $200 and be good ;)...

Happy Campin'
