The BEST thing I did after getting our van was to join the “ev_update” Yahoo group – I wish I knew about it sooner - join now! I have found out so much helpful info, including how to remove/repair the fridge, fix propane issues, photos of modifications, etc. There is a mailing list, files and photos section, etc. Check it out.

VENDORS

Here is a list of vendors that we like to give our money to:

Carter VW – a Seattle dealer where we bought our van – they have always treated us right, solved any issues we have, AND we get a loaner!

Tru-Line Frame and Wheel – if you are in Seattle, these are THE guys for suspension adjustments, shock installs (if you don’t want to do that yourself) and more.

EuroParts – check their prices – you gotta be kidding, right? Nope – superb prices, great parts, fantastic service.

EuroCampers – cool German accessories (we got our fantastic seat back pockets here) and again, great service!

GoWesty – not the cheapest place around, but they have NEW propane tanks, some great kits (like the luggage rack bracket kit), and like most of the vendors – great service!
