At the risk of sounding link a real camping weenie, I think that I'll post another story about camping in developed campgrounds.

I love driving my Vanagon. The visibility is awe inspiring.

So I guess you are the ACVW guy that still waves at Vanagons, huh

A Vanagon "in addition" is a potential indicator of how well future additions to the VW fleet would be accepted.

"Honey, I found a T34 Ghia hiding behind a barn under some blackberry vines halfway between here and Chicago, can I bring it home?"
"Not in the front yard! I don't care if it's out back with the Bug and that weird Bus-Truck thing, but I don't want the neighbors complaining. Again."

Ya know, some of my best poops have been in the woods, it just feels like th' pipes are lined up right. It's not much fun in the summer, when you have to outwit the flies.

LOL, hard to "prop" with a fly swatter isn't it?!!

That and depending on how much freeze dried backpacker food you have had.....you could be in for a teeth clenching push to get that fiesty stink pickle out.

(EDIT...DAMN I JUST KNOCKED MY POST COUNT FROM 420.....I wanted to enjoy it for awhile....)

I so wanted a t34 ghia. But parts must be miserable. They're miserable for a type 4....

Those poor souls have been traumatized by divisiveness from long-ago prior experiences here in the internet ethers.
c-o-m-r-a-d-e-r-i-e proferred is comraderie returned. . . over time.
We have a Type 2 forum right here for Vanagon baywindow splitwindow fellowship. I have a free-standing invitation for any splitty driver to drive my bay, and I invite any Vanagon owner to share the joy with bay pilots.

Keeping the Vanagons out is extremely small minded.

I won't tolerate keeping the Vanagons out like the Splittys did to the Bays.

As someone who restored and drove a 1964 Sundial 30 years ago, I am incensed when some 20-something gets all snooty on me over the year of bus that I own.

Vanagons are here to stay. At least their cars have heat!
