If I were to put the $40K I'd have to spend on a new domestic camper into
my Westy I'd end up with a killer Vanagon and money left over for a
several good vacations.

My list:  TDI engine, rebuilt transmission with proper gearing, all new
suspension bushings, bearings, body seals, paintjob, upholstery, carpet,
A/C (up front, thank you), big brakes, e-code headlights, 16'' wheels and
tires,  and a hula girl on the dashboard.  Result:  25 mpg on the highway
and a very cool and a very reliable vehicle.

Well, it's nice to dream, anyway. :-)
