Vanagon

I have a vanagon that I bought for my wife. She likes to car camp and sleep while I drive the long hours to our destination. I have had the vehicle for over two years and up until last month the only thing that stopped working on it is the starter. this past month the cooling system went on the fritz. new thermostat, and some new hoses from the vw dealer, not cheap, and it is running like a champ.

I generally get between 20 and 22 mpg on road trips and 17 to 19 in town depending on driving.

It is the perfect road trip vehicle for me, wife and two big dogs. My wife will never let me sell the thing, and she wants me to import a turbo diesel and 5 speed for it when this engine goes. it is running strong at 210000.
