I've had my 85 Westy for about six months now, this is my first vanagon.  I
had early 70 Westys before.  I'm not a complete mechanic, but like to
piddle some.  In the past I have used the Chilton repair books and they
were adequate for my level of fixin'.  So, when we bought Herbie, I looked
to get the Chiltons for him, but it is not yet in the stands.  Publication
date of Feb 99 and it is still back ordered at the local Chapter 11
bookstore.

I keep seeing references to Bently on the list, is he a butler or a garage
owner?  I see on Busdepot.com several books listed, Bently being the most
expensive.

Question:  Since I will not rebuild an engine, but may do tune ups, and
minor repair/replace things, is Bently too in depth?  What about the
Haynes, since Herbie seems to be included.

Suggestions, comments on any of these?

TIA
