all Jeff, seems that you are finally coming to your senses, and see the folly of your past path.
Welcome back.
yup...84 and up, gasoline. Good way to go.
I'm way out on the west coast - Oregon,
and the one I am working on to sell .. .......a pretty good 85 Westy GL that is close to your price range, though someone took out the fridge/stove/sink and propane tank, so it's a Faux Weekender.
It'll be fully serviced throughout including fresh head gaskets and valve job, and everything fully roadworthy and well serviced, the whole van.
but welcome back !
I hope you find a good one. They are such fine 'sport vans' ....plus this huge helpful community ..
what's not to like !

In December of 2008 I sold my '84 Westy (purchased from original owners grand daughter for $1,200.00 w/ a seized motor) Out of 9 buses I've owned this was by far the best. It had the gas heater. I sold it on Ebay, and I was so filled with regret the day the buyer flew in to pick it up I almost sabotaged the engine and was going pay the buyers airfare back home. But I didn't, and I stood there wondering what the hell had I done as I watched him drive off. I swore I was never going to buy another Vanagon again. For months after that I kept meaning to unsubscribe from the list, but I just couldn't.Two week later I bought a used 1995 Chevy Winnebago camper. I sold that and bought a 1996 AWD Safari. Just an hour ago the buyer of the Safari drove off. I didn't even watch it go. Sure, it was a good van, probably run a bazillion miles with no troubles. But it wasn't a Vanagon. I'm miserable when I own a Vanagon, more miserable when I don't. Soooooo, now I am in the market for another Vanagon, a Westy, pretty much from '84 up. No diesels.
I'm in N. Virginia, about 50 miles west of Washington DC, and thanks to Craigslist and The Samba, I pretty much know whats for sale within 300 miles of me, so far I haven't seen anything that really interests me. My budget is about $5,000.00. <SIGH> I can't believe I am going to buy another one! Jeff
