I have several questions regarding Airports and pick-up options.......

Flagstaff is the closest regional 45 mi. Sedona is closest private 20 mi. Phoenix is closest International 100 mi.

I will pick you up from the two closest, or any of the nearby shuttle stops from Phoenix.

The 40L auxiliary water tank is in addition to the factory 11 gallon tank. It is made for European Westfalia"s to contain grey water from sink, and is mounted under chassis on RH side opposite of how it would be on a RH drive Vanagon.

I am also including magnetic window screens for driver and passenger doors.
