An e-mail from a VW enthusiast

Hi, I’ve been looking for a RAV4 or CRV—highly reliable vehicles, saw your ad and noticed you’re looking to buy a VW bus or another Toyota. I sold my second bus last summer, it was a Eurovan camper, before that a Vanagon. I’m in the process of selling my Beetle now. Can I just say, go with the Toyota!!! VW’s are adorable and great campermobiles, but extrememly high maintainance!!! Why else would there be clubs devoted to keeping them on the road (Vanagon.com), with networks of people you can call when travelling—because they break down all the time. I did a ‘round the country in my Vanagon and my whole trip log was about my breakdowns—I did meet some great people though :) Good luck (and please think twice!)
