I have mixed feelings about transferring this wonderful camper to you but I have decided to live in my trailer again after being in my van for three years. It has been in storage for 4 yrs. I start it up and drive it around a couple times a year to keep it conditioned. The previous owner did most of the work of acing this van out since 1997. I have all receipts except for the engine ($4,800 TIICO kit) ( have receipt for install. $2,000) and paint job ( acrylic enamel). Most recent fix was one side CV axle after I acquired it.
It had 116,000 mi. on the body when I bought it and now has 60,000 mi. on the engine which purrs up the road with 20 more HP than the original Wasserboxer and gets 20 MPG avg. to 24 once in while. It has Michelin Hydroedge tires which are in fair shape- two have very good tread. They are mounted on the cast Aluminum 15 in. wheels.
I am glad it is the Multivan which had only the table and cupboard in back because I had to have a big Fridge. I installed a 2 cu. ft. ( 60 L ) Fridgefreeze.com . I used a Coleman single burner stove with a 2.5 gal. propane tank I kept inside in back. As seen in the photos I removed the back seat ( now in my storage unit) and put in a hinged platform slightly raised in front so the drawers do not slide forward when hitting the brakes. I had 8 of them stacked across to hold clothes and utensils. I did not use the pad in back (stored). Two 7 gal. water jugs and my lounge chairs etc. filled that space. Note the tube hanging down. It is connected to a little 12v pump in the upper shelf and is stuck into one of the jugs so a flip of the switch ran water out through my sink top filter faucet. So, with this configuration , overall, I have more usable space for everything. Note the steel tubular bumper w/receiver.
As seen in the pic I installed a second 12v deep cycle to keep my 12v/AC fridge cool. The fridge draws just about 24 amps over 24 hrs. at 38* inside it. If it is cloudy for a couple days I would turn it off at night. I had two 120 watt panels at the time. The one would do OK but adding one more would insure total charging by noon the next day. The controller is a Sun Saver Duo by Morningstar and it feeds to both of the batteries. I have it set for 90 % to the aux. and 10% to the starting battery. In storage it is set at 50-50. I installed a Sure Power battery separator that protects the starting battery from being drained if the aux. happens to get too low. It switches automatically by detecting low voltage. The Link 10 battery monitor in the pic shows state of charge and amps in and out. I had it in my trailer but will leave it in the van. The 600 watt inverter is sitting next to the Interstate. I used it to charge my laptop. I now use a 12v to 12v convertor wired directly to my battery. It uses only the amps my computer needs.
The radio is a high end Blaupunkt with drop down face for CD insert.( no dust entry). The Air Conditioner works. The antenna on the back corner is a Wilson Electronics truckers 5db gain cell signal booster that is connected to their 3 watt amplifier (about 20db gain) which is connected to my Verizon USB Modem for Internet. I have no phone except for Skype so this configuration is best for me. Tip: Wilson has 12v - 26db gain smartphone cradles that do the same when you are out in fringe signal areas. Only the Verizon USB modem has an external antenna jack these days. ( no price reduction if you don't need the Wilson equip.)
One of the important aspects of the chassis design is the 4 wheel Independent suspension which makes negotiating forest roads much smoother. The Vanagon is a heavy duty unit overall. If you get stuck just take the included Arb hand winch with 60 ft. cable and attach it to the Pull Pal spade mechanism that digs itself into the ground as an anchor if no trees are around. I had to use it a few times in the desert Southwest where I drive all the time. I am a boondocker and rarely use RV parks so I am well prepared. It is stored in the heavy duty bag on top of the van.
Being able to sleep up in the loft is very comfy at 5x6 ft. I added a 2 in. memory foam pad for greater comfort. By the way, notice the 60 lb. strut on the side. It makes pushing up the top with the panel almost effortless.
Man, I'm not sure I should do this, but here it is for you. Now, it is a retail price considering all the add-ons and engine. Think of it this way; All the work has been done and you just have fun driving this cool Vista Cruiser.
E-mail me to discuss the wire transfer either before or after coming to inspect the vehicle. I bought the van this way before I actually saw it and was not let down by the quality I found.

VW ID.4, the new Buick Envision and crossing Hyundai's N Line | Autoblog Podcast #668

Fri, Mar 5 2021

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. It's a review-packed episode this week, but it kicks off with a discussion of Volvo's plans to electrify by 2030 and move their EV sales online. From there, they get into Greg's time with VW's game-changing new ID.4 electric crossover. Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan. Finally, they tackle a fascinatingly complex twitter question: What is the best 'economy' muscle car?

VW bringing fuel cell concept to LA Auto Show

Mon, Nov 17 2014

Amid the flurry of hydrogen announcements from Toyota and Honda last night, Volkwagen has something to add: a new hydrogen fuel cell concept vehicle. This will be the first VW hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in many years – remember the Tiguan Hy-Motion back in 2008? Â– and it comes as a bit of a surprise. First written up by the German publication Wirtschaft Woche, VW is going to have the prototype car (not pictured) available at the ride and drive at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this week. We don't yet know what kind of vehicle will sport the hydrogen powertrain, but our money's on a Golf variant. We'll see soon enough when we get to Los Angeles. What's interesting is that there have been a number of not-so-mixed messages out of the VW executive ranks when it comes to hydrogen vehicles. VW's Japanese president, Shigeru Shoji, said in September that, hydrogen fuel cells, "may fly within Japan, but not globally." Last year, VW's electrification head Rudolf Krebs said that "hydrogen mobility only makes sense if you use green energy." Also last year, VW CEO Martin Winterkorn said it's basically impossible to build hydrogen vehicles at a "reasonable cost." Nonetheless, we're going to see a new VW H2 concept soon. Thoughts?

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014

Sun, 23 Dec 2012

Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.
