A camping forum for VW bus and camper owners.
PROFESSIONAL HELP ABQ,NM / 1975 VW Camper.
Im looking for someone in the ABQ,NM area to show me the ropes and teach me the ways of the VW. I've been reading up on engine maintenance and tinkering around with things. I've done some minor projects here and there and I'm quite handy once I get a handle on the subject....preparing for a grand adventure. Just trying to be as prepared as possible.

Hey its mike in Roswell. How you guys doin? So exactly what is it at present that you need help with?
Im not totally in a position to travel at the moment but I can help ya figure stuff out and give some solid recomendations usually...lol Seriously tho...first order of biz is to prioritize! Then knock em off the list one at a time.
Do you have the Muir book? This is a great place to start! I know of a webpage or two that also has some solid info. Id like to see you kids up and running. I don't know if you realize this or not but there is a camper family member in your immediate area. So if I dont hear from you soon then its prob because I scared the stuffing out of ya with the National parks thing (Sorry not my intent) if its not that, then life is happening and I can certainly relate!
Hope to talk at ya and help ya later. Happy New year too you both!
Mike and Jackie in Roswell

Have you heard of the ABQ. air cooled alliance? They do the Buses at the ballons every year and last year we met up with them when we came down from Wyoming to see the balloons. They are a good bunch of people and were very helpful.
Hope this helps, Bob
