Excuse me for violating the list with an off topic query on other than
friday, but this is somewhat time-sensitive and it is 'sort of' related to
vanagons.

  A friend is looking for a small camper to use as his headquarters in the
NW US while orgainzing a bike race.  He sort of suggested he needed
something like a Vanagon or maybe a Eurovan...and now I think he's leaning
towards the Eurovan...He isn't likely to become a Vanagon Guy, I think he
just wants a workable small camper that he'll be able to use without too
much TLC or problems.
  So he's just asked me, "What is the best year to look for in a Eurovan"
and "Which years shoud  I avoid"?  I told him I would ask around..and he
needs to get this going...so I didn't want to wait till Friday... If someone
came up with a "Go Westie" style vanagon for sale, he would probably be ok
with that, but this guy (I don't know him all that well) seems more of the
"dealership" type who might be better off with a Eurovan and all that
implies.
  anyone?
