I have an 87 Westy that I love dearly, except when I have to drive the
highways of South Dakota in the winter. With the snow and wind and ice
on the Interstate, I have a tough time keeping my Westy on the road (and
out of the ditch). I have Goodyear Winter Radials (M&S), but I don't
seem to have the traction I had on my last van -- a 76 Westy.

When it comes to winter driving in the frozen north, how does the
Vanagon compare with the front wheel drive Eurovan?

Thanks for your observations.
