again, as i said, you'd think that with the modern technology we have in the
2000's they would use abs plastic instead of wood for alot of those things.
much lighter than the wood in our westies

True, I wasn't comparing the OG Westy kits but yes it can feel like you've got
the family riding around in back.As I recall the 95 Eurovan conversion was
about 900 lbs unladen heavier than a Eurovan MV. We had a 2002 MV andyou could
definitely tell by the gas gauge and handling that you weren't in the same bus.

Westy. Panels are all 1/8" birch and cabinets are all thick plywood, like 1/2
or 5/8" (would have to go measure to be sure) but yes the cabinets are covered
in formica. At least the above is true for the SO-42. But you are right about
the weight. You can feel it when you are driving one compared to a regular
bus. Next time I have an SO-42 interior out I will weigh all the pieces.Will

Plastic? Those busen had MDF or Pressboard with Formica. You may save a few
lbs but think about it. You're carrying probably close to 800 lbs at leastwith
the kits involved.

tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] Re: : New evc One thing i think you should
consider is hopefully with that bus being a 2007 alot of the interior panels
are abs plastic instead of the thick 1/2" and 3/4" woods that our old westies
have, which will result in a much lighter load

tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [tcb] Re: : New evcFeatures schmeatures...I think
what everybody forgets is how much "weight" we lug around in a Westy. All the
time.If you were a nomad or used it constantly then it would be worth it
otherwise it would be like my parentsold Ford Camper. Let's see, a "Dreamer"
deluxe camper that weighed in at just under 2100 lbs. Had a full sizecab over
bed and a 2 1/2 food drop rear extension. Ahh yes. In the 70s and early 80s
it spent most of its timeunder the tree out front. With a 72 Ford F250 with a
390 underneath it mileage was a great 9MPG... Mind you, this was an "upgrade"
from the 70 Hardtop Westy my step dad had that he drove daily .They'd also load
it up (including the westy) with enough material to outlast the next WOrld War.
Clothes, Food, other gear.The westy alone must have had 500 lbs of junk in it
all the time.Ahh those were the gold old days..

Have anyone seen this? The Danbury which is available in Mexico or other South
American countries, is rated better than the VW California. You can always fly
down to purchase and drive it back. I was searching on the Danbury and there is
a guy that sells it on theSamba.
