Don't know where you are located or what you need. I will say that if you buy it and register it in Oregon, there is NO sales tax of any kind, and the registration fee low if it doesn't have a stove in it. For some reason, the price goes up if it's a camper and the stove is the tip off to them. Whats sales tax in California these days?... 8%? So a $10,000 vehicular adds $800 for Arnolds kitty?

We have an 1985 Westfalia, and it's great...except for the crappy gas mileage (about 12 miles/gal) and that it's in the shop more often than not. But still, it's part of the family. :) My sense is that you'll be better off looking out West - I see a lot more of them in New Mexico, California, Nevada, and Utah then in the east. They're also generally in better condition (less rust) and may even be a bit less expensive, too. Some sites you might want to check out (either to purchase the van or to get the parts/accessories you're going to probably need) include: http://www.vanagon.com/vendors/ GoWesty at http://eurovanparts.com/main.php http://www.westfalia.org/ You should also know about the AIRS site - http://www.type2.com/rescue/ - it's a loose-knit bunch of VW/camper-lovers who might be able to get you out of a jam should your van fall apart on a road trip. BTW - my sense is that you're much better off with a water cooled than air-cooled (i.e., I think >1985). And if you've got the cash, perhaps even upgrade to a Eurovan. Enjoy - they're great vehicles....but you should know what you're getting yourself in for. If you're not ready for it, consider the standard pick-up/camper shell option. Chris

Chris Thanks for the links, I'll take a look. VW are just one option I am considering. Actually, part of me likes having no car what's so ever and just renting a vehicle every summer. Keeps me more versatile on where I start my road trips every year. Also means no storage and no maintenance on my end. The money I save on that alone covers hotels and such. I will take a look. Cheers Eman

i still maintain it would work! that particular balcony is pretty dark in one corner, and the walk way beneath it is NEVER used. i mean, sure, there are easier ways. like instead of having your buddies having a great time together while you are alone beneath while they sneakily pour beers down the long bear bong, they could just buy beer from the store and you could all hang out together at home... BUT, I still think sungam should give it a shot (and of course take photos!).....

But isn't that like, ummm, driving up to the top of the cliff instead of climbing it? Of course, toting along a 20 foot bong would make either more challenging.

Sungam-DO IT.....then wander the few blocks back to my friend's house and leave some empty cans like we disussed! Its an epic journey ahead of you..... And Bill, we might have just found a way to make the mentor/mentee thing more interesting.....30 meter beer bongs. Top is carried by the leader and the second has to climb with it in their mouth. Leader can randomly pour beer down whenever they see fit.... Now who is going to invent a light, packable, self-retracting 30 meter beer bong for the good of the sport?!??!?!?

Maybe then its used in reverse, for mentees first lead. They need to lead, carrying the beer, and pour you drinks as you climb.....

A beer for every time we have to stop to evaluate a piece. That seems a reasonable schedule.

I completely redesign this 1974 VW camper to do around the world road trip on it and added a bullet proof 1980 water cooled Mazda 1.4 liter engine and it gives me 25-35 Mile per gal fuel consumption. It also has a warm shower in the back door so you could wash your body up to 5 minutes and 1500 watt generator that could run power to a house with solid 4 wheel disc break.

Sweet Majid, I'd never heard of the mazda conversion! But I WAS a vanagon dude. Where did you install your radiator on that air cooled bay? Veedub campers are cool but a labor of love to maintain. They are all getting on in years and you need to either buy one that has been worked over or else you will need to consider additonal time/labor or $$. Check out thesamba.com classified ads http://www.thesamba.com/...ifieds/cat.php?id=55 Wish you had posted sooner I just sold mine http://www.thesamba.com/...detail.php?id=777025

What diesel power plant did you use Majid? In the process of doing a 4 cyl. 3.3 turbo Yanmar in an 86 Toy p/u and possibly dropping a Westy on the frame.

Anything is possible with a big hammer and a torch. I chose the IFS on the 86 Toy because not too much to modify for the increased weight of the diesel. Going to upgrade the torsion bars to 25 or 26 mm for the weight and a 4 to 6 in. lift for larger tires for more road speed. Otherwise I'll have to find a new tranny to spec to the lower rpm diesel. I'm old and drive slow or maybe it's as a truck mechanic pulling hills in low gear and turning on the flashers is just second nature. Don't know much about the Subaru suspension and what would be necessary to beef it up but parts for the Subie would be more available than the 4x4 Westy that is for sure.

i would take you up on that except: a)i have to be honest and admit i'm not quite that badass of a medic....not technically a medic, really. W-EMTB.... b) if all goes according to plan i'll be committed to at least 8 more years of training starting this august----BUT if you are still interested after that, i should be a board certified ER/ICU doc and would love to tag along!
