 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.

Canada expands cooperation with EPA over VW scandal

Tue, Sep 29 2015

It doesn't take much more than a stiff breeze to send some US pollution northward across the 49th parallel. Perhaps that's why the Canadian government says it is standing strong with the US in its continuing investigation of Volkswagen and the allegations and self-reporting that the automaker installed software to try to game emissions regulations. In fact, the Canadian government is going to do its own slate of on-road testing to see how VW diesel engines perform in real-world conditions. Last year, about 1.8 million new light-duty vehicles were sold in Canada, which is about equal to how many were sold in Maryland. That compares to about 17 million new-vehicle sales for the US. But every bit counts when it comes to an increase in potentially harmful emissions, and the Canadian government says it wants to make sure VW's diesel engines are being properly monitored, whether they're sold in Detroit, MI, or across the river in Windsor, Ontario. And that means following up – together – on allegations that Europe's biggest automaker is using so-called "defeat devices" in what it has long called its "clean diesel" engines. The automotive industry continues to be roiled by the VW scandal, in which the automaker said that as many as 11 million of its vehicles may contain software programmed to manipulate emissions-testing procedures. Volkswagen has set aside $7.3 billion to deal with the scandal, while VW CEO Martin Winterkorn was forced to step down after the issue became public. Take a look at Environment Canada's press release below. Statement - Government of Canada expands its on-going collaborative work with the U.S. EPA to assess other diesel vehicles for defeat devices OTTAWA, Sept. 26, 2015 /CNW/ - On September 22, 2015, the Government of Canada opened an investigation into Volkswagen's alleged use of defeat devices to circumvent emissions regulations. Environment Canada issued the following update on the issue: "The Government of Canada has a long history of collaborating closely with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to align emission standards, as well as to provide oversight and verify compliance with applicable emission regulations "Today, the Government of Canada is announcing that it has expanded its ongoing collaborative work with the U.S. EPA to assess other diesel vehicles for defeat devices and compliance issues. "Vehicles will be subject to a variety of tests including on-road testing using portable emission measurement systems.
