> I'm looking at a add for a 85 diesel camper in Organ.  

VW stopped selling the diesel Vanagons in the U.S. in 1984, so something is
odd.  It may be worth confirming the year, whether this camper started out
as a diesel, or whether it is a gray market import.  (If it's a European
spec camper with a larger diesel engine it's an entirely different animal.)
The 1600 diesel campers are almost dangerously slow IMO - not so much in
terms of top speed, but in terms of acceleration. When driving them I found
I sometimes had to ride the shoulder when merging onto a highway in order to
build up enough speed to safely merge.  That's a little too slow for me, and
I say that as someone who drives 2-cylinder cars regularly and finds the
wasserboxer engine plenty peppy. Of course your take may differ from mine.
