Greetings all !

After years of eyeing your beautiful Westfalias I finally got one!

But I don't know much about its care and feeding and servicing. I'm
hoping some kind souls here on the list are willing to offer a noob
some starting out basic information. It's just been to the mechanic
for a going over and repair of the bus parts but they don't handle
camper issues. So I'm hoping some folks here can give me advice on
where to take the van to have it looked at and maybe fixed for the
camper type things.

Do I need to take it to someone who specializes in Westfalias or will
any RV service center do?
Can anyone recommend any place to go within reasonable distance of
Philadelphia?
What books do I need to buy?

I know nothing about propane systems (other than they can be
dangerous) - what should I know? Like: does it get refilled and how
and by whom? There is a battery under the passenger seat. Is that the
main battery for the engine? Do most people get a second battery to
run the fridge from?

Thanks so much for your kind advice,

Iden
