Dwight,

I am in the metro Atlanta GA area.  I think you will enjoy the Westfalia
experience.  I left Atlanta in 1989 and spent two months traveling in a '69
Westy, easily the best time of my life, and ended up in San Diego for 4
years.  I miss the back country - Julian, Santa Ysabel, Anza Borrego,
Palomar observatory and other great attractions of your fine state!

The camper needs the following work:

Front heater core bypassed, A/C compressor not engaging (this is the fabled
indash installation), cruise control not functioning, fridge not cooling
well - probably just needs some basic maintenance.

All other camping equipment in excellent shape.  Even with the above
mentioned defects the camper is a great deal at $3500.  I have had lots of
fun this summer and fall camping in North Carolina and Texas and just need
to get some cash flow so I can buy a house next year.  You can bet I will be
looking for another as soon as I get settled in.

P.S. I talked to a mechanic today about the smog issue and I plan on having
him look at the camper next week.  He is a Vanagon owner and came
recommended by the list.

Best regards,

Bill
