Question about EVC


 

Hello Everyone,
I?m thinking to buy the EV Camper and I have just joined the mailing list.

I went to a VW dealer today to see a 2000 EV MV. It was very nice car but unfortunately they didn,t have the Camper.
I'm sorry for the begginer questions, but may I have some about the EVC?

1. I know the EV camper is heavier and longer and I wonder how the differences effect on the driving feeling. Is there
any difference between the normal EV and the camper? By the way, I felt the MV's handling was good enough.

2. Sales person I talked said there would be no 2000 EV Camper since Winnebago build the car based on a base EV
made on every other year. Is this true?

3. 1999 EV does not have a remote key and I really like it. The sales person told me there is no remote key option for
1999 EV from WV. Is there any after market product?

4. As a nature of that kind of car, I understand I can?t expect a large discount, but is the price, $36k, reasonable?

5. I don't dislike the white color but why another color variations are not available?

Any response would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Tad

I drove both the MV and the EVC before I bought the EVC. MV is easier
to park (because it is shorter) EVC handles fine, you know it is not a
sport car but it is fine.

We go a good indication from someone on the list that there was going
to be a 2000 EVC, check with VW.

You can get an aftermarket remote keyless entry, check with local auto
sound dealer.

Some list members have received slightly better prices than others
34-36 is probably what you can expect. Several members reported
calling several dealers and asking for their best price - I just bought
the closest available EVC.

Good luck - oh, also the rumor about the 2000 EVC included colors other
than white.

The EVC is about 18 inches longer and 900 lbs heavier, has a propane
tank, fridge, sink, and stove along with cupboard/closet space.

Winnebago build the car based on a base EV made on every other year. Is

VW sold the odd number year EVCs for two years for each model until the
mext one came out. For example, the 97 EVC was available rightn up to
Aug 98 when the 99 EVC came out



3. 1999 EV does not have a remote key and I really like it. The sales

There's dozens of aftermarket alarms you coud install with this feature

Seems like some people managed too get the EVC right around 32.5K, it
will depend on your dealers willingness to negotiate and you
willingness to wait.


5. I don't dislike the white color but why another color variations

Only white for the EVC, the EV is available in many other colors

The camper handles wonderfully on all paved road conditions.

So far, that's been Winnebago's production method -- a new camper for
odd-numbered years. That doesn't mean you can't buy a camper in even
numbered years, just that the camper model year may not coincide with
the purchase year.

You can expect to pay somewhere between 32k and 33k for the camper.
36k is the window sticker price -- negotiate harder. ;-)

Actually, white is probably the perfect color for a camper. It
reflects the sun's heat fantastically and doesn't show dirt or road
grime very much. Its a wonderful vehicle.
