Thank you so much for great advice. Guys like me, love the vanagons but not many people know much about them. It is so helpful to get quality advice being on the road! Dave Heckendorn - Expedition Photography

Vanagon dot com and WetWesties have great forums for tech help with these vehicles. If you haven't obtained a Bentley manual yet, get one...it will save you time, money and hair. Keep posting here, too...many folks are listening and will try to help.
