A couple of weeks ago I said I'd let the list know if this camper was still available, having agreed to hold it for the first person who'd responded. Well, car problems have prevented him from even coming to look at it, so it is still available. Below is the info from the original post. -Ron Salmon ------------------------------------- This camper was bought in Germany and brought to the US by the original owner. It is sort of a metallic brown/copper color with a light brown poptop, and is in excellent running condition. Runs & drives great! 4 speed. 109,000 miles. Recently rebuilt power steering rack, recent alignment, newer water pump, newer exhaust. Have all repair records since the van was in Germany. Trailer hitch. Power steering/brakes. No A/C. Mechanically needs nothing that I know of. Interior is very nice. (This camper has the upgraded interior, with plusher valour seats, armrests, etc..) Full camping package: Sink, stove, fridge (AC/DC/propane), sofabed, table in rear, etc. (Missing small front table, as usual.) Poptop canvas is perfect. Body is decent. Looks nice, and has no dents. However, there is the typical surface rust along the seams, and along one seam the rust has spread out about 3" wide. Also some surface rust next to the drivers door handle, and on the lip of two wheel wells. However, this is all surface rust - no holes. Also, there was rust around the 3 camper inlets on the drivers side (the jacks for AC plug, city water, and water tank fill). The previous owner, reasoning that these inlets are not needed (you can fill the sink tank or run the fridge without them) simply riveted a metal plate over them rather than fix them. This and a cracked windshield are the only real flaws with the camper. The camper currently has 5-spoke 15" aftermarket Vanagon mags that the previous owner purchased in Germany. The asking price of $4250 includes the stock wheels and hubcaps; I'd want a little extra for the chrome wheels, or would sell them separately. I am in Pa., between Philadelphia and Allentown. Email or (610) 754-8989 for more info.
