Answer: it might, but things can go wrong, wouldn't recommend it. I've been driving it so know it would probably make it, but I haven't taken it out for a long spin in a while, so I took it out this morning. Drove to the California coast via hwy 199, to Crescent City. Went thru the redwoods, past the Smith river to the ocean. Nice drive, but I had things to do so I headed back. About 5 hrs and about 200 miles. No problems. Took a couple pics.1983 Watercooled Vanagon Campmobile.
