Hi, I'm new to the list and as soon as it gets out of the shop I'll be
the proud owner of a '85 Vanagon GL(a friend of my wife needs cash so I
pay for the  new clutch and get a van) . To make a long story short the
sunday after Thanksgiving I have to make a trip from Minnesota to
Oklahoma with this van. So, I have a few questions. I know they are
dumb, but, I haven't even seen the silly thing yet let alone drive it.
1) What can I plan for cruise speed?
2) What spare parts are handy to have along?
3) After 1,000,000+ miles (yes the commas are right) in a Chevy Cargo
Van two things near and dear to my heart: is their foot room? and how
high do I have to crank the radio to cover road noise?

Let the flames begin
