Subject: My Westy is totaled!

A 60 foot tree squashed my Westy like a bug early yesterday morning.  I've
never seen a Vanagon so totally demolished.  Not a single body panel is
intact and it literally split at the seams. The curious can see some pics
at:

While I've had a number of VW campers over the years of various vintages,
this one had a special place in my heart, as my little girl (now 9) pretty
much grew up in it over the summers.

Anyway, now comes the arduous process of convincing the insurance company
that a VW camper is worth more than the NADA book says it is. And finding a
replacement.  If anyone knows of a very clean later model Vanagon Westy
(although I wouldn't rule out a '76-79 or a Eurovan camper) that isn't
overpriced, please let me know. Driving distance from Philly is preferred
but not absolutely necessary.
