My 1983 Westy Vanagon drives beautifully. I had a new rebuilt waterbox engine put in 2 years ago. Here’s a list of everything I did to it:

New Radiator
New rebuilt waterbox engine (has about 3,500 miles on the new engine)
New all terrain tires about 500 miles ago
Replaced
Tune up at Westy Works in November 2021 and passed smog. It’s registered til June 2023
New throttle body and gasket when they did the tune up.
Replaced coolant temperature sensor
Updated engine grounds
Custom-made upholstery covers for the couch and bed. Upgraded memory foam mattress.
Everything works inside:
Refrigerator that runs on propane or battery
Propane stove with two burners
Sink with Electric pump
2 Swivel tables
2 closets, 3 cupboards for storage, 1 drawer
Canvas pop up tarp with zipper opening
Sleeps 2 down below and 2 up top
As a single female I have done road trips in this and I’ve never had a problem. I hate to let it go but I’m looking to buy some thing with four-wheel-drive. Clean title.
