Hi all,
We will ship our vanagon for a trip in East states and Quebec.
We will arrive in New York mid August and head to Northern Quebec while weather is mild.
On the way back , beginnig of october, we will spend some time in the Eastern states and would love to join campouts and meet VW bus US nuts.
Do you have something scheduled at that time?
I have not been able to find any infos.
Waitind to meet some of you

Hi folks,
We had this plan last year but we had to deay it for famoly reasons.
We plan to tour NE USA and Quebec for two month ths summer/fall.
We will ship our Eurovan, rental is too expensive.
We hope we will be able to join members on some campouts.
We will land on august 9th and leave when it's too cold, normally mid october.
Now the help stuff:
We have to get a vehicle insurance, so we will need an address in USA. If somebody is ready to offer his own address, we will be very gratefull.
Futhermore, if somebody knows an insurance company ready to accept non resident foreigners with no track record in US, with no accident in 40 yeas in Europe, we are ready to contact them.
Regards,
Alain Riaud

Hi folks,
I did not post here since last year.
I still have a plan to tour eastern north america this summer.
If I can find an acceptable price, I may ship my Eurovan Turbo diesel. Otherwise I will rent something bigger, but will you accept me in your campouts?
As it's an old beast, despite a low mileage (100 000 miles), I'm worried by potential breakdown.
Are they common in your area?
Do we find parts easily? Remember, a turbo diesel....
Thanks for your answers

I'm a quite new frenchie on this forum.
I plan a two month trip this late summer visiting North East (Massachusets, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine) and Quebec.
I'm a campout addict, here in France, with my fellow Type 3 owners.
As I'm in the planning phase of this stay and would be delighted if I could join a Limbobus campout and meet people.
Do you folks have ideas on what you will do this summer?
I will not be with my van, too expensive to ship it .
I plan to rent something equivalent locally, it's quite expensive too. Any suggestions?
Thanks all

It may be off topic here, but I need to post twice before beeing able to add a link to my picture gallery.
Anyway, I planned to ship my vanagon to US and back next year for a few month road trip. It's awfully expensive.
Another option is to buy a camper, use it and sell it back.
I already own a vanagon, I know it very well, mine is reliable.
But their are known to be quite unreliable, motor wise, so I'm afraid of buying a lemon and spoiling my vacations.
I'm thinking of a RIALTA. What do you think of this idea?

I'm french, my apologies....
I'm active on a ww Type 3 forum , mostly in french, one room in english: next time
We have an introduction room, very helpfull to help us know each other. I suggest you create one here.
So,
I'm french, retired, have been student in USA, long time ago.
At that time I owned a baywindow I used to discover your country.
Columbia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Calgary, Alaska highway to Anchorage, then Fairbanks and Point Barrow, back to SC through Montreal, Blue Ridge Parkway. 25 000 miles and only two breakdowns.
I bought a turbo diesel Type3 20 years ago, still running strong.
I plan a road trip tu USA next year, eather with my van or a rented one.
See you next year
Alain
My gallery....... next time.
