You are bidding on a 1999 full EuroVan Winnebago camper in a No Reserve auction. It has below average miles (104,246) and is in good condition. We have owned it for 9 1/2 years, and both we and the previous owner have always garaged it. It has been driven very little in the winter, and has lived its life in Colorado (minimal salt on roads). It has worked well on the 4 long trips we have taken it on, but haven't used it as much as we expected in terms of shorter or weekend trips, and have only put 54,000 miles on it during our ownership. Under normal mostly highway conditions, we get about 20 miles per gallon; on this summer's trip to Alaska with a fairly heavy load including a 17' kayak acting as a sail going into the wind, we averaged 19.6 mpg. This is about the size of a Dodge Caravan extended minivan, so unlike larger campers, it can be easily driven in the city and parked in a normal parking space. While we have never done so, it could be used as a daily driver in addition to a camper.
Features:
Pop-up camper with beds up and down, so it sleeps a cozy 4.
Optional middle bench seat that has never been used to increase seating capacity to 6.
Propane furnace.
Refrigerator running on cabin battery, plug in, or propane.
Two burner propane stove, Sink
CD Player (2007)
Yakima rack on top for bikes or kayaks (those attachments not included). There is also a bike rack that goes on the rear tailgate that we got from the previous owner that we have never used that we are happy to toss in.
A second newer mounted spare tire in almost new condition. Also, a pair of never used tire chains (cables).
Brand new windshield.
It has a cream colored clear bra on the front (see picture).
Captains chairs in front swivel 180 deg to use as seats in cabin. Two tables that collapse and are stowed between drivers seat and frig.
The car is in good condition. There are minor scrapes on the passenger side of the front bumper and center of the rear bumper (see last two pictures for detail), and there are half a dozen minor chips in the paint above the clear bra on the front or on the side - typical for a car of 100,000 miles in good but not pristine condition. There are a couple of minor scrapes on top of the roof that don't really show (as a result of not taking the kayak off cleanly). The tires are fair (24,500 miles). When my mechanic checked the car out before this summer's Alaska trip, he said that the brakes had about half of their life left. The engine battery was new in January and the cabin battery new in June. It has a fresh oil change and is ready for another Alaska trip.
Note: A few of the pictures showing the interior show apparent dots or splotches that aren't real - the flash caught rain drops. After waiting for the rain to stop for 2 1/2 days, a rarity in Colorado, I gave up so the pix aren't quite up to snuff.
If you have any questions, please use the Ask a Question link or call Bill @ 303-809-6763. Please ask questions before bidding. Your bid is a legally binding contract. You or your representative are welcome (and encouraged) to inspect the car before bidding. I am in the Denver area. The $500 deposit should be by PayPal or overnight check within two days. The balance should be by certified check within 7 days. Bank transfers are not acceptable due to issues with scammers. Please plan on picking up the vehicle or arranging shipping within 20 days.
For those not familiar with EBay policies, the Buy It Now price of $22,500 will disappear shortly after bidding starts - it is not indefinitely available on a no reserve auction. (The last car I sold on EBay had the Buy It Now price go away after bidding started, and a bidder was unhappy that the final bid price was above the original Buy It Now price.) If you want to lock in the Buy It Now price, don't wait. In recent months, most of the EBay listed Eurovan campers of similar mileage and age have had asking prices of $31-41,000, or have had a lot more miles on them.
If you have less than 3 feedback responses or negative feedback, call me before bidding, or I will cancel your bid. Having had 4 scammers trying to mess up the auction the last time I sold a car on EBay, it isn't worth the headaches of dealing with unidentified no feedback bidders. Scammers, don't even bother trying to mess with the auction - you won't get the bank account information you want from me under any circumstances.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
