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.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.

VW and partner SAIC start building $2.5B Audi plant in China

Fri, Oct 19 2018

BEIJING — Volkswagen AG's China joint venture with SAIC Motor Corp has started building a $2.5 billion new energy vehicle (NEV) plant in Shanghai, which will make VW's luxury Audi brand cars, a possible first for the venture. The new plant is a key step for Audi to diversify production of its cars in the world's largest car market from its long-standing local partner, China FAW Group Corp. This shift has been delayed amid resistance from local dealers. SAIC Volkswagen said the new plant would have an annual capacity to make 300,000 cars and begin production from 2020. Audi sold 481,387 vehicles in China from January to September this year. The announcement comes the same week Tesla secured a Shanghai location for a Gigafactory battery plant to serve the Chinese market. Audi unveiled the plan to bolster ties with SAIC in late 2016. Earlier this year, the Germany luxury carmaker bought a 1 percent stake in the SAIC Volkswagen venture, paving the way for the joint venture to produce and sell Audi cars. Volkswagen currently gets a larger proportion of the proceeds from the 50-50 tie-up with SAIC than from its 40 percent stake in the venture with FAW. SAIC Volkswagen said in a statement on Friday the plant would cost 17 billion yuan ($2.5 billion) and would make VW and Skoda models as well as Audi cars. It will help VW tap China's fast-growing market for NEVs, a category comprising electric battery cars and plug-in electric hybrid vehicles.

Toyota reclaims global sales crown, GM and VW not far behind

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

TheDetroitBureau.com reports Toyota has retaken the global sales crown. The Japanese automaker turned out 9.75 million vehicles last year, putting it just ahead of General Motors, with 9.29 million vehicles. Volkswagen, meanwhile, filled out the podium by building 9.1 million units in 2012.
Still, Toyota numbers fell just below projections the automaker made earlier in the year, due largely to a fierce territorial dispute between Japan and China that has seen mainland buyers shun Japanese goods. But the news marks a substantial comeback for Toyota. The company fell to third place in the global production race in 2011 after tragic earthquake and tsunami caused several plant closures.
In Japan, Toyota enjoyed a sales increase of 35 percent over the previous year, while the company's worldwide sales jumped by 23 percent thanks in part to new additions to the Prius line. The automaker is forecasting yet another increase for 2013, with the company projecting to reach 9.91 million units this year. Neither Volkswagen nor GM have released their own projections just yet.
