I dont think there is such a thing, there is always something that needs doing! I think you either have to have deep pockets or be prepared to get out there with the socket set, or ideally both! | |

| Welcome to the forum. As said, there will always be some kind of problem, but that's part of the charm. The other option of course is buy a T5 that looks like every other van on the road. The smiles more than make up for it. Let the good times roll  ________________________________________________________________________________  Ginger man without a ginger van  | |

I know how that feels  There is always something to grease, tighten, loosen, change or replace just a kombi way of life I guess | |

| Having owned old bays in the past I agree Dazdub.....They are a very simular vehicle to the braze bay but older technology...Everyone to their own though and most sensible fans just love VW's and the scene too... | |

| Hi from Aldershot. Eva is a 2006 air cooled camper and has been relatively trouble free since purchasing her a couple of years back - replaced both batteries but that's about it so far.  | |
