>Dear Beth,

My 1985 Westy Weekender is for sale.  Sleeps 4 with the pop-top, skylight,
canvas is in good shape.  Seats are fair, exterior browish grey is excellent.
4 speed, power steering, AC (replaced hose fittings and had the compressor
rebuilt last year, but compressor has to be replaced.  Recently
replaced/rebuilt; 
alternator, power steering rack, header pipe. 140K miles, new head gaskets
at 95K.  Motor is strong.  The weekender has no sink or built in stove, but
as I found out you do gain a great deal of room without these items.  I am
in the Lancaster, CA area(by Edwards AFB/California City).  If you are
interested, I get down to the Burbank area about once a month, maybe we
could meet there.  Why I am selling:
I found out that I am not the camping type.  I am looking for a straight
vanagon for my family now.
Best,

Bill Lund
