Bernie, I'm 73.8 yrs - have three Vanagons - no camper/westfalia - but the significant other and I love driving and camping in/with them. She loves the high seat and broad vista visibility of that big windshield as do I. We alternate a few days in the van with a day - or two - in a motel/hotel/b&b - when on the road. I can't imagine giving up this kind travel/life/vanagon. I think I would become a "sick & shut-in" in short order. I don't ever anticipate giving up my a Vanagon. I plan to drive it until it - or I - turn to rust/dust!! I've told my kids that when I'm done, come to the end of my road, just strap me in the seat to the thing, and roll us together into a big hole in the back pasture, cover, and plant poppies! Kidding aside - I hope for a long and extended drive into the future in my Vanagon.
