Take a good look back in the coach battery box. You might find it
there. Is where I keep mine.

I recently purchased a 95 EVC. The binder from Winnebago mentions the

The manual said that there should be a "shoreline" included but I

guess

the last owner kept it.

Can I buy any 15amp 110v "shoreline" from a standard RV dealer or do I
need to order one from VW or Winnebago??

thanks for any input.

OK... <snicker>... I can't resist...<snicker>....

How big is everyone's hard drive? <kidding>

I use a Mac... I have owned 8 vw's... I'm on the Atkins diet (lost 25

Yes... i am sick and use too much disk space. But I am free... and
going camping this weekend.

And I view all of this on the web... even though I have enough disk
space to hold all the VW drivel that has ever been on the Internet.

Life is good!

Hey, what's the matter with a '93 EV w/ 72k miles? I have a '93

with 71k,

and I'm the original owner. I know there's at least one other

list member

that's got a '93 with way less miles than me...

I just ran out and checked my speedo - 70548 original miles on my
93MVWeekender (one owner). Is there a six of microbrew in this for

Steve,

Depending on how these work out, I would be interested. Please send
details to the following address: "leon@..."

Do you have switches for them as well?

Thanks.

Steve,

If you mount a pair in the front, will you let us know how they worked
out. I'd be interested in a pic (direct email to me) of the final
installation. I am interested in ordering a pair from you if they are
for the factory setting in the bumper.

Linda,

Does the van have any paperwork on work done to the van? @ 60K miles
the timing belt, etc needs to be replaced. If there is no evidence
that this has been done, try to get ~$150 off to cover this (1/2 of the
cost).

Get the extended warranty. Its cheap insurance - even if its $600.
I'd read the fine print. It should cover all of the mechanical its.
Also note what the deductable amount is.

I think your son will like the van. It has great headroom and space to
move around.

Along time ago, a gentleman (doug hardekopf, dhardekop@...)
was selling a 93 GL with a wheelchair lift. You might try emailing him
and asking him how it worked out.

Good Luck
Jerry

I have a couple of thoughts on this. I was able to track down the original
owner who traded in her '93 EV for a Chevy. I called her and asked where she
had it serviced and the reason why she traded it in.

She told me she was sorry she did it as she hated her new Chevy. She traded
in the EV after the VW dealer wrote up about $3000 in repairs and pm.

I called the dealer and he looked up the records in the computer. Aside from
the cracked windshield (already replaced by dealer) I was able to determine
that most of the repairs were unnecessary, or I could do them myself.

Now for the warranty. Most of these won't cover the likely things that will
or could go wrong. They will only cover failure of internally lubricated
parts, or have such a high deductible, you won't be able to get much if any
of most repairs covered. They won't cover your tires, brakes, exhaust,
battery, electrical system, air conditioning, or radiator. I've even seen
where they won't cover "exotic" vehicles, which the EuroVan may be one of.

Carefully check what they cover and how much the deductible will cost you.

James,

I'd be very interested. I've been contemplating the bench seat, but

it

does sound like the single is a lot more versatile. Ours is a late

1999

EVC and has the four (widely spaced) holes. I assume that's the

same as

yours and that the single seat will fit in either pair.

James, I tried sending an email to Michael Kolar (kbea@...),

really want to buy a single seat for the 2000 EVC. Thanks! Oh, and are
you sure that it's secure with only the two bolts? Our child will be
sitting in it.

I'd take the warranty, and spend the next year fixing everything that
breaks.

My understanding is that the lights come as a kit with brackets, switch,
relay and wiring. You may want to order the correct VW switch as I don't
know if the switch included will match the dash switches.

These fit the same as the original accessory lights, mounting behind the
bumper cover. You will need to cut out the opening in the cover.

Steve-
Will the Hella units you ordered fit into the stock openings (after having
them cut out) below the bumper - just like the stock lights? Or, are they
mounted in front if the openings on a separate bracket?

$700 sounds a little high...there may be places on the web (Warranty
Gold?) that may have a lower-priced, same-coverage deal.

I think there's a 100% markup on those extended warranties...you may be
able to offer them $350 on the warranty as your final offer.

The Eurovan can have some problems, so the warranty is probably a good
idea.

I own a '93 GL...we really like it, though it's no Jap vehicle as far as
repairs go...still, not too bad.

On the subject of wheelchair lifts and the EV, VW touted a program back in 92/93 that you could get an EV and put a lift in for handicap access (I don't know what the fine details are). More recently, our esteemed former listmemeber Dr. xxxxx had a child with a disability and specifically purchased the EV for the purpose of transporting said child. Unfortunately, he had greater problems that we could not help him with...

I have a 93 MV with a weekender package with 85K miles
and like it very much. Last fall, I talked with a
couple who also has a 93 EV and who has two teenaged
children in wheelchairs. The couple says the van
works fine for them. The van has a lot of headroom
inside with a level floor. It is not garaged and they
bought it new.

One other thing, are you sure the van has 72k miles
not 172K miles?

I don't know if you have fixed your problem, yet. If not, Bentley says the
