Hi all.

In light of a recent vehicle accident I had, (in daily driver Honda)
I'm reconsidering my options for a camper van. Even though I too have
grown very fond of my Vanagon/Westy, I'm curious about a later model
Vanagon or the Eurovan. As such did some reading and have some
questions.

Have there been any significant improvements made to later model
Vanagons/Westies in regards to crash safety?

If not, and since I've gathered that the Eurovan may be safer, is it
as good of a camper (functionality/interior) as the Westy?

Given what I've read of Eurovan campers, it seems the actual Westy is
a better camper all round. Just looking for any real life experience.
I guess I should ask the camper quesiton on WetWesties too....

I realize I'm still swayed by my emotions due to accident, and that
there are many other factors, (other that vehicle design) involved in
being safe in any vehicle. Regardless, I would like to *possibly* make
a better choice to satisfy my camping habit.

TIA,
