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.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.Â Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.Â If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) Â— unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.Â Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.Â Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:Â Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners Â— those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port Â— will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 Â— eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

VW readying new VR6 with forced induction

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
