Dave, this is gonna be a robust discussion for sure!  Everybody....just state your mind, don't be shy....this is how we gain perspective on the whole matter.

 I fully support the transition to electric vehicles.  I fully support any
legal actions that local, state, and federal government take to hasten the
transition.  Right now, my main personal transportation is a 2006 Toyota
Prius.  I will keep it so long as it continues to provide the service I
need, because the environmental (and monetary) cost of replacing it with
new, even electric, are greater than keeping it.  I continue to use my
camper for the reasons I have it, but if I could replace it with electric,
I would.  I look forward to the EV Buzz, and hope that by the time it comes
here, it will have improved range.  If I can get a camper conversion of it
or something like it, I will.

Right now, the camper needs a few thousand dollars of maintenance.  I am
mulling the trade-offs involved.  Some queries about that:
1.  Stainless steel coolant pipe kit:  How important?  My camper has
(installed 2 years ago) the GoWesty stainless inserts in the plastic pipe
ends. No leaks there.
2.  Metal coolant pressure tank:  How important?  Or just a new plastic
one?  The current one has not ruptured or anything drastic, just leaking at
the cap.
3.  I put on all new fuel lines in 2008.  Is it time to do that again?
Ditto coolant hoses.

4.  Antifreeze is bright blue and perfectly clear.  Do I need new when
redoing coolant system?
