I am a former Kombi owner (1970, 1974).  Never quite got resigned to not
having a VW Camper, and I'm now back in a position to reinstate myself
among the ranks of Vanagon owners.  I have been looking around awhile,
and am torn between going back to a late vintage (78 or 79) Kombi, or
going for a newer camper from the 1984-1991 era.  I am getting
conficting information about maintenance costs, availability of parts,
desireability of water vs. air cooled engines, and whether older campers
can be air-care certified in BC -- between these two styles.  Can anyone
out there offer me sage advice?  I'm located in the Vancouver, BC, area,
in case that matters.
