Re: 1995 Eurovan.

It seems that the fan is on a different circuit. Tripping the circuit breaker does not stop it!

Another possibility is that the furnace controller or perhaps the time delay relay within the furnace.

No under the seat from the fan for the heater. I will try to turn off the electrical circuit breaker

I have a Eurovan that has very strange behavior when it gets hot outside. When the outside temperature is over 85 or 90 the gas heater fan comes on, not the heater.

Any suggestion on how to get around this problem?

The thermostats for to turn gas on and off is wall thermostats . ?thermostats in heater controls the fan off and on. ?Turn off at fuse panel will turn it all off.
Re: 1995 Eurovan.

 

Have you tried turning off power to the heater at the circuit breaker panel?

Today was the first hot day. I disconnected the thermostat for the heater a few days ago. But that did not fix the problem. The fan for the heater still went on. There must be an additional thermostat still on the heater somewhere!?
Any suggestions?

Re: Difficulty starting when warm

 

Sometimes the N80 valve fails and causes a hard start condition - extended cranking.? You can test the valve by putting 12 volts across the terminals and listen for the distinct audible click like a solenoid.? No click or weak click means the valve is out of life.

I am not sure that this throws a code or not.
Short answer to a short question

Hi all,

I'm servicing my EVC before a trip. What is the correct level of transmission oil on the dipstick (I have a dipstick kit on my EVC) when temp is between 86-98 degrees on the Scanguage ? Is it supposed to be near the middle between the two dots on the dipstick or else ? Thanks.

Re: Sleeping pad for downstairs

 

Yves, the Westfalia version Eurovan camper, 92-94 is often referred to as the Canadian Camper as it was never sold in the US. No doubt you're 97 EVC is a Winnebago version which was sold in both Canada and the U.S. after 1994.?

Re: Sleeping pad for downstairs

 

I ordered a custom mattress from Mattress Insider for our 95 camper, for the top bunk. I got a 74¡± x 42¡± @ 4.5¡± thick. It¡¯s 2¡± of Gell with 2.5¡± of memory foam wrapped in an organic cotton cover. It fits perfect, can still closed the top fine, and it¡¯s the most comfortable mattress I¡¯ve ever slept on in the van. It cost me $349 including?shipping. Took 5 weeks with COVID.? Worth considering.
Cheers,

Re: Sleeping pad for downstairs

 

Heads up for Westfalia (Canadian) Camper owners with the factory bed: Your bed is wider than the Winnebago EVC full camper. You should be able to fit a 48" mattress on the Westfalia bed. The 41" one recommended in this thread will be too narrow.

Re: Difficulty starting when warm

 

I agree that getting some kind of code readout will really help.
Also the coolant temperature sensors have caused issues:
Re: Sleeping pad for downstairs

 

as recommended by Paula and Michael

(get the Medium Double size, which is 41x72 inches.)
Like many things Eurovan, this is NLA (no longer available)!
But this looks like its replacement (in the medium double size):?

This is for EVC size beds, not Weekender.? Perhaps the Long Wide Double with 11" more width and 6" more length would be OK for the Weekender downstairs.

We have the GoWesty foldable memory foam for the EVC bed and it's comfortable, though it does take up space behind the rear seat.
Re: Sleeping pad for downstairs

 

I use an exped mattress upstairs as well as down without a problem. Very comfortable.?

After years of uncomfortable sleep in the downstairs bed in our 2000 Eurovan full camper, we had tried all sorts of solutions, such as supplementing with Z-lite pads, backpacker inflatable pads, etc. Nothing really worked and the extra layers and bulk were always frustrating to deal with.
?
So, this summer we decided to splurge and purchased the Exped MegaMat Duo 10 (Medium Double) size, and used it as the only sleep surface (e.g. we removed the existing pads and left them at home).

The megaMat is a perfect size for the Winnebago full camper bottom bunk, very comfortable and warm. It's mostly self inflating, comes with a little hand pump to adjust the pressure, and easy to deflate. It has two valves (one for inflate, one for deflate). When the bed is not in use you can just fold the mat in half (leaving sheets/blankets in place) and it stores nicely in the trunk area with the bench seat in seating mode.
?
When deflated, it's also quite a bit thinner than the stock foam pads, so you end up with more cargo space in the trunk area as an added bonus.
?
The only downside is the price, but I think this is a quality product worth the $$$. Highly recommend.

I was unaware that the weekender is different, sorry for the misdirect.

GoWesty sells a trifold mattress for the Weekender that I've been contemplating.

I had similar problems with an AUDI ( same engine) Turned out to be leaking fuel injectors when warm which flooded the engine and soaked the spark plugs. Do you smell a gas odor in the engine compartment when this occurs?
