We love this van but our growing family no longer fits. Tons of extras. Fully ready for extended off/on the grid living - including a Propex furnace, solar power, fully functional water, stove and everything else you need to camp and live in it. In a Vanagon shop in southern California, mechanic drove it, said “that Vanagon jams!” Tall gears in 3rd and 4th. Has an ‘86 2.1 liter VW engine instead of smaller 1.9 liter stock in 85’s. Engine and transmission rebuilt 35k miles ago. Steering, braking, highway tracking, shifting all tight. Starts easy and runs well. Pick it up and head off on an adventure. Amenities: New 110 watt flexible solar panel on roof (lightweight, very efficient, minimal air drag) 2 deep cycle auxiliary batteries wired in series GoWesty kit that switches to auxiliary batteries automatically so starter battery stays strong Solar controller Solar voltage monitor Inverter so you can plug in your laptop, phone, whatever you like, including a USB outlet. Has a switch to run the stereo when camping so don’t have to put in key Two overhead fluorescent lights Sink works Two burner propane stove works Aftermarket 3 screen pop top canvas for cross ventilation - has some rips in the screens High end Propane Propex furnace New style propane fill attachment so you can fill it at any propane place Awning - great for rainy days and hot sunny days Rebuilt engine 35,000 miles ago - done by previous owner, took him at his word Rebuilt transmission 35,000 miles ago - 4 speed manual New clutch 35,000 miles ago Tall gears in 3rd and 4th Various small dings and dents and rust New paint job five years ago Passed Boulder Colorado (strict!) emissions tests a few months ago no problem. New fuel pump, water pump, upgraded cooling system and a bunch of other various repairs done by pro mechanics over the years Roof rack bars - Yakima Rooftop Rocket Box for extra storage New tires Two tables inside plus mount for a table to swing outside for grilling or food Both front seats can flip around Rear trailer hitch Has A/C but doesn’t work, was quoted $1100 in Vegas to get it operable. Mercedes wheels, 14”, keep it very stable at speed $400 Blaupunkt stereo system with CD and input jack including all new speakers and remote Front mounted 3 bike rack, keeps bikes out of the way in day to day living and travel Fridge on propane doesn’t work as far as we can tell, we’ve always used a cooler, most likely just the igniter needs to be cleaned. New wiper motor and blades front and rear Curtains all around Rear hatch screen Top bed topper for extra comfort New side mirrors Bentley manual, and have a pdf version too if you’d like 3rd single passenger seat, slides in and out easily for camping or not using, has storage under Front panels all have chip-resistant bedliner paint Recent oil change Recent wheel alignment
