The 1995 Eurobago which I owned was a phenomenal vehicle. The 5cyl, 2500 cc Audi was perfectly matched in HP (107) and torque. The only draw back was the weight of the Winnebago conversion - total vehicle weight 4700 lbs. The rear bench while solid and reliable, but was made out of cast iron, and the upholstery was decidedly saggy and uncomfortable (the front swivel seat, by VW, were, by comparison, superb). The front of the vehicle was surrounded by glass, wonderful vistas, while the rear bench passengers were relegated to a dark corner. The window over the galley hardly provided a view at all. I don't fault Winnebago for the quality of their construction or components. The fridge, Norcol (sp?), was top notch - it would work on gas at any angle and also on gas at highway speeds (no need ever to run it off DC). The suburban furnace was spot on. All top notch. What I fault Winnebago for is their failure to plan for light weight construction. It is almost unconscienable for them to put 3/4" plywood throughout. The cabinets, everything, are made out of this heavy duty stuff. They could of, and should of, designed using aluminum and plastics. However, even Winnebago's weight problem doesn't detract from the superb highway platform of Eurovan 5cyl. With perfectly matched suspension and braking, this vehicle was king of the road at 85 mph.
