I think a comapny in California called "Adventure" still makes the
highroof campers. My 72 Bus is a Adventure Highroof conversion.

Hello,

We have a 95 Eurovan Camper for sale. 38k miles. Perfect shape. Any
ideas as to what I should ask for it? Thanks.

Eckhard, I have a blue 93 EV MV, and live in Durham, though I was not on Rt
55 yesterday. You may have seen me on Erwin Road between Durham and Chapel
Hill.

I know this must be fascinating to people who live elsewhere.

For the books, we bought our EV from a private party in Durham last July,
after considering alternative like Sportsmobile and other Class B
vehicles....even so far as thinking about a Chevy Astro extended vans. I
pretty much a Toyota/Mazda type buyer, and have been down on VWs since I
had a '63 convertable in the '70s. But I must say I like the size and
space of the EV, and the fact that we can take off for camping trips at the
drop of a hat. My wife really loves the EV. Its her play house on wheels.
Most important, our dog has taken to it, and jumps in anytime the side
door is open.

While I'm on this, I know that I need new mounts for the motor--I've been
following that thread closely. Is it really something I can do? I'm not
very sophisticated mechanically, and though I have made my way through some
complicated procedures (very slowly), the EV engine is a bit intimidating
to look at. I would like a reality check on that. I don't have a garage,
or even much level space in my driveway. If there is much danger in really
messing up the EV, I'd be willing to pay someone to do it, I suppose, as
much as it hurts to say that.

Though this was really in response to Eckhard, anyone who wants to chime in
on the motor mount/EV maintenance issue please do!

Hello, group. Looking for a second EV. It has to be a 1993 model year [cost considerations] and it has to have an automatic transmission. I'd prefer it if I am contacted directly, for I only get to read the group postings twice a week at the most [if I am lucky]. Any help would appreciate it very much. Thank you. omarriffi@... Omar.

Eckhard,
I bought a center console at Pep Boys. I had to notch the front left corner of
it to fit (it was an inch or so to long) but it does not interfere with the E
break. It has a small catchall in the very front then 2 cup holders for the
driver and passenger, on top it has a lid with another catch all and 2 drink
holders for the people in the center seat. I removed the hinge on the lid so
the top lifts off 2 reasons for this. #1 you would have to remove the things in
the lid compartment to access the thing in the large center compartment and #2
it rubbed on the passenger arm rest when tilted to open it. I'm using this in a
'99 GLS

Regarding Winnie parts for you EVC, I've got a great sources recommended by
the factory in Iowa. Call Lonnie at: 800-343-6255.

They've mail ordered me $2.00 parts for my EVC. Quick and professional.
have the serial number of you EVC handy. Very reseasoable.

Daniel, what exactly did you have done at Owasco for 1700 dollars?

Steve,
I'm interested in the fog lights also.

I told the list last week about the miserable loaner Ch*v
that my FLVW dealer gave us when the appointment to fix our
camper ran over. (That was because they had failed to
source the parts, despite having a week's advance notice on
the work).

So we got the van back on Friday after $1702 (Canadian)
worth of work (say $300 U.S.!) to find that the clown
mechanic must have leaned on our lexan headlight cover.
This guy is so swift that he criss-crossed it with black
electrical tape, apparently thinking that we wouldn't
notice.

I have informed the dealership that I expect a free
replacement.

Scott,

What kind of long trips could you be going on and still have only 50K miles?


To everyone who has so few miles on their EVs, shame on you for not going on
some real trips and packing the miles on. My wife and I were so excited
when we got our 99 EVC that we put 5K miles on it within the first 6 weeks
and now have over 30K after 16 months with only weekend and travel use.

Bruce,

What is the load rating (on the side of the tire) and max tire pressure
rating (again, on the side of the tire) of the Pirelli Scorpion.

Sorry to encourage more discussion on the dreaded tire thread but I

just had

occasion to try on a friend's set of Pirelli Scorpions (205/75/15)

which in

theory are quite a bit taller than the vaunted Agilis. His are on a

91

westy synchro. They fit my 93 ev w/out a problem on both front and

back

w/out rubbing the body during turns.

These tires recently rated top of the class in several recent

consumer tests

for both quietness of ride as well as handling in the wet. They have

8

belts, are rated for 40 or 50k miles, and I believe are rated for the

weight

of most EV configurations. They have both an aggressive "truck" as

well as

more sedate "passenger" tread pattern option. As I recall they are a
relative bargain at $69 at discount tire.

For those looking to raise their van, decrease their rpms or get more
mileage might want to check them out.

Yes most definately. Side by side inflated comparison I've done

(re new

tire

spares w/= pressures plus on vehicle comparisons). A significant

eyeball

difference without using any math. One would have to question the
rationality of putting a smaller tire on already a marginally tired

vehicle?

Speedo readings are already inaccurate as to reading fast (would

read even

more inaccurate or faster with shorter tires), EV's have low-torque

engines

(why increase RPM's at highway speeds which would equate to less

MPG?),

increase noise due to engine buzz at speed (increased rpm), plus

lowering

the

ever present limited ground clearance. Figure? My experience?

Been

there

done that with other vehicles. Will pass on any degree of

downsizing

vehicle

tires ... even if they were free. Unless living in mountainous

terrain

or

towing something behind your EVC where shorter tires equate to

higher gear

ratio, look for the larger diameter size tire. The 215/65R15C

Agilis may

prove to be the answer if they can be found. I will run my

Goodyear G64's

until I find an equally large or larger tire (re the Agilis

215/65R15C) to

replace them with. No complaints whatsoever with the G64's other

than a

bit

noisy due to the aggressive tread pattern. Good hunting.... we are

off in

our EVC to Alamos, Sonora Mexico for the Music festival .... =).

Strange thing happened to me yesterday. I drove from Apex, NC to
Durham, NC on route 55 and saw two EVs. This has never happened in
this area. One was a blue 93 (I guess) and the other one was a white
EVC, both heading south on 55. Anyone on this list?

People just like to feel included and a lot of people do not know a lot
about fixing Euro vans. So when there is a time when they can put their two
cents in and send in a e-mail they take advantage of this a feel a lot
better about participating in the group. So instead of making people feel
stupid about answering "off the wall" emails we should just live with it,
because it is all in fun, and then everybody would feel good about being
part of this group. After all, we listen to people on this list that do not
even own a EV, but just enjoy the groups discussions. If we stop having fun,
then its time to sell the EV.

Traveling west on Hwy 20 over Santiam Pass in central Oregon I was passed by
a pre-97 EVC with a high-top. Anybody ever seen one of these and where do
they come from?

Hey Volks,

I saw a EVC getting gas at the Mobile station across the street from the
Brooklyn house of detention. Was this anyone on the list?

I hate to be a party pooper, but I can't see how this thread (How many miles

Surveys like age, odometer mileage, gas mileage, etc., have a good place in
the infrequently used "Polls" section on the <A

Do you have any line drawing pictures of Vanagon Campers? Where is your
site?
Thanks in advance.

I've got lots of great Vanagon pictures but am really short of the

I may end up doing a Splittie/Loaf and Vanagon/Eurovan saver if I

don't get

more pictures. I'm also going to create one huge everything saver

who want it all.

So send them in!!!
