Coyote,
        I am selling my VW camper.  I saw your Caravana page and thought
that this van could reliably make the trip and that you may know
of somebody looking for a dependable, well- maintained VW camper.

VW Pop-Top Camper FS: $2495/offer
Location: Seattle, WA
Specifications/features:

* 1969 model (Coveted 1968-1971 period, has cheaper
  parts than post �71 buses and features like higher gearing and
  sliding doors not found on pre �68 buses.)
* One owner for 12 yrs. (comes with owners manual).
* Only 190k miles (driven mostly on trips).
* Body and paint: very good.  (Light body work and paint 8 yrs. ago).
* Straight up pop-top, bed on top and fold out bed below (sleeps 3-4).
* Propane catalytic wall mounted heater (runs off under-van tank).
* Many storage closets.
* 110V electrical outlet on inside (plug into 110V and have electricity).
* Nice interior: carpet, wood panels, bed and seat cushions recovered.
* 3 separate interior lights (front, middle, and back).
* Mechanically very good (everything works, have receipts).
* Rebuilt engine, heater boxes, carb., generator, CV boots, wheel
  bearings, brakes, muffler, clutch, oil cooler, battery, tires and
  steering box
  within the last 35k miles (maybe I should keep it :) ).
* Late �70 �AE� type engine with doghouse oil cooler, and single port
  heads (better lubrication, cooling, and reliability).
* VDO gauges in dash below stereo (oil press., and temp.).
* Tiger CDI ignition module (improves gas mileage and reliability).
* Aiwa cassette stereo, Alpine amp., 4 Sony speakers (it rocks).
* Mostly stock parts with some exceptions mentioned (and GM horn).
