The Vanagon Wiki is being rebuilt
History
The Vanagon Wiki was created on August 7, 2007. It is intended to be a central repository for all information Vanagon-related (however loosely). Like the Vanagon.com list archives, the wiki will preserve and convey the distilled wisdom of those who love, maintain, repair, and modify these unique vehicles. But unlike the archives, these pages will not only be quicker to access, they are "live," meaning that any registered user can edit a topic for accuracy or clarity or add new information as it comes along; and any registered user can create new topic pages. If you consider yourself to be an expert in a particular area then register and create a new page so others can benefit from your experience.
The Vanagon Wiki data was lost due to a series of unfortunate events (how Vanagon-like), and, as of May 2010, is being actively rebuilt by a special segment of the Vanagon Rescue Squad.
