Subject:Idea about going to warmer climate for winter and servicing Vanagons
From:kenneth wilford (Van-Again)

I am super busy here in NJ working on Vanagons and Westies for customers.
 However the dreaded winter is coming and even though I have a heated shop,
etc. I really would like to go somewhere that is nice and warm outside
during the winter months, yet still help customers and work on Vanagons for
them.  I had been tossing this idea around in my mind for a few days and
trying to figure out how it could happen when I got a call from a customer
in Hawaii.  He tells me that in Oahu that there are tons of Vanagons and
only one trusted mechanic that can work on them.  He is super booked up
(sounds familiar) so the customer suggested I could come out there and be
as busy as I would want to be repairing vans.  Of course it is never that
simple.  I have a wife and four kids so I would need air fare and also a
place to stay while I am there and a shop to work out of or use as a home
base.

I am also thinking that Florida might be a good choice for this idea since
all of the motorhomes go south for the winter.

I am just putting this idea out there.  Anyone on the list give me a way to
make my dream of a "no winter", winter actually come to pass?
