Welcome to the Vanagon List. Trouble-free ownership?

Your vehicle is almost 20 years old. Expect high maintenance costs.

With proper maintenance, your camper can be a very reliable vehicle.

On a list like this you are naturally going to see more questions and
comments about problems than about trouble-free ownership - that's what
this list is for.

Read the information here on the list, it's the most valuable source of
Vanagon information you will ever find. Plan your trips wisely, try and be
prepared. With any vehicle that is almost 20 years old, it's hard to
anticipate every problem you may encounter.

Have a sense of adventure! Consider it an aspect of Vanagon ownership.
