Denis, those ARE cool for sure.  Every time I see one I wish I had one.  I can just see the maintenance records on one of those - YIKES !  How about a 23' Europa 230, ever heard of them ?  That's what we just got into.  If you think Vanagon parts are hard to come by try finding stuff for a 1995 Europa.  Yes, the chassis is a Dodge B350 and that part is easy peasy, but the rest, YIKES !  Check out our Blog <http://frankcondelli.com/travels/>  That's why I was absent from the Vanagon List over the last few months.  I didn't feel it was "appropriate" to be posting travel stories about us in our Europa travelling across America !  Rita likes it and that's what counts right now, full bath with tub & shower,  permanent bed in back, double kitchen sink with lots of counter space, a real sized fridge that works, heating & A/C like at home, hot water, and 9 ~ 10 MPG.  We still have the Westy and WILL never part with it.
