(background) We bought our first Westfalia in 1971, and took the train to the factory where it was assembled. Since then we have owned three other VW Westfalia conversions. The improvements in comfort and utility have been continuous; the first one had an icebox, and the last one had an Electrolux 3-way refrigerator, as an example. If my experience is worth anything, the camper package will be fairly useful, nothing to worry about.
I would not worry about the van, it has been in production since 1995.
We now own an Interstate, which is a Sprinter converted by Airstream, and have got about 15000 miles on it, no problems with the Sprinter as yet. I would worry about fuel prices, truckers, cops, weather, and put the "Westy" down near the bottom of the list. Enjoy!
