You'll be back, I once thought the same thing as you.  It's a great driver
but a seriously inferior camper.  Sold mine after three years when I was
facing a $4000 transmission rebuild and bought a Westy again.  Follow the
ev-update list on Yahoo! Groups, you'll need it--the Norcold has its own
special problems (electronic ignition).

Good luck!

'85 Westy, plus a '97 EVC, '84 Westy, '68 Westy in the past.

Subject: Heresy: I bought a Eurovan

Folks:� My Vanagon pedigree is as good as most.� I've owned 4 different
vanagons spanning from 1981 to 2012. In various configuration, I've owned
air-cooled, water cooled, 2WD, 14" and 16" syncros, pop-tops, and high-tops,
carburetors and fuel injected, flat-4 and Zetec engines.� I've owned CDN,
French, & German spec vans.� I've owned one factory NEW and 3 used vans. I
driven my vans in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordon, Syria, Turkey, Morocco, and
most of Western Europe CDA & USA.� My 4 vans have spanned 3 wives! :-)� 

I've now sold my most recent van (16" Syncro Dehler/Reimo hightop camper)
and I think(!) that I'm about done with T3s.� But, Never say Never!

I've now purchased a very nice, very clean 2002 Eurovan Winnebago camper.��
I have some idea of the differences in the T3 and T4 having rented a T4 to
drive a round Europe in 2006.� My wife will be a Visiting Scholar at the U
of Arizona (Tuscon) so we will be spending most of the next 10 months in the
SW USA.� 

So it may be Heresy, but I'm
batting for the other team, and we'll see how things go.� 

My thanks to this List and the folks on the list, I have learned a great
deal about vans, and I, and my vans, are better for that!� :-)� I'll lurk on
this list for a while, as I might be able to offer some help on "my fridge
wont light" or "canvas replacement tips", or the like.� Malcolm
