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.

Recall on VW diesels begins in January, Mueller claims

Wed, Oct 7 2015

A recall on Volkswagen's diesel vehicles with cheating software has been inevitable since the scandal first came to light, but there has been little official word on a timeframe for the fix. The automaker's new CEO Matthias Muller has finally put a tentative date on repairs, though. "If all goes according to plan, we can start the recall in January. All the cars should be fixed by the end of 2016," Muller said to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Reuters reports. While this plan affects Europe, the timing for repairs in the US could be slightly different. The Environmental Protection Agency needs to test the fix first here to make sure that it brings the vehicles in line with emissions regulations. Before the scandal came to light publicly, VW already tried a software update, but the California Air Resources Board still found NOx levels to be too high. Some experts have speculated that whatever the automaker comes up with this time could affect performance and fuel economy. To make lemonade out of these very sour lemons, Muller is trying to position the scandal as a chance to change. "This crisis gives us an opportunity to overhaul Volkswagen's structures," the CEO said, according to Reuters. "We want to make the company slimmer, more decentralized and give the brands more responsibility." Still, the effects are definitely being felt inside the automaker. When addressing employees recently, Muller admitted the necessity of cutbacks and the likelihood of setting aside even more money to pay for international fines and settlements. "What isn't absolutely vital will be canceled or delayed," he said. Related Video:

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
