1997 Volkswagen Eurovan Camper Van Camper 3-door 2.8l on 2040-cars

I have owned this VW Eurovan Camper for over one year. I originally purchased the van from a photographer in Boulder while I was living in Boulder, CO. I was a weekend warrior in the van until this past summer. I lived in the van for over 4 months while touring national parks of the west. I had always dreamed of visiting the splendors of the west on my own schedule and this was the perfect vehicle for my travels. I have a lifetime of photos and memories from my trip. Fellow VW owners and other car campers made my trip unforgettable. If you have always dreamed on traveling in comfort and simplicity, look no further than this reliable RV. Be prepared you are about to join an elite group of Eurovan Camper owners and adventurers. Long conversations will ensue about travels and the joy of owning one of these unique vehicles.

I have all the original paper work and pamphlets neatly organized in a binder with page protectors. I have documented and saved all receipts and maintenance records. First and foremost this van is mechanically sound. All maintenance while I owned it and the previous owner owned it was performed by Indian Peaks Auto (303-413-1163), located at 5757 Arapahoe Ave #D1 in Boulder, CO. These guys are the VW professionals in Boulder and they can attest to the meticulous maintenance this van has undergone. New front brake rotors were recently installed by Young’s Ole Volks Home in Bend, OR. New rear muffler was also recently installed. 

The previous owner had the vehicle lifted 2 inches and also had 16inch tires installed from the factory 15inch. If you are doing any kind of adventures in this vehicle or any VW Eurovan Camper, I highly recommend having this essential upgrade done. I had previously test drove a non-lifted VW Eurovan Camper and the handling difference is night and day. I encourage you to do your own research and determine for yourself that the lifted vehicles are superior. Also it should be noted that the lift provides additional clearance for the low hanging LP tank and accessories.

From the carfax reports I have run, I’m told I am the 4^th owner. During my time as owner I wanted to upgrade and replace a few things to ensure I would have worry free and comfortable travels. I designed and installed an adjustable plexi glass organizing system in the rear wardrobe. I installed new Pioneer speakers throughout the cabin for a clearer and crisp music experience. I installed a new battery operated Carbon Monoxide Detector and a new Liquid Petroleum (LP) and Carbon Monoxide detector that is hardwired into the auxiliary battery. I also installed new heavy duty locking pop top struts. I also installed a Yakima Roof Rack System and Thule Ascent 1100 Cargo box for additional gear storage. I had a custom made flannel fitted sheet for the rear bed. I also purchased a GoWesty Memory foam mattress topper. New struts on the top above the sink were also installed. There are custom fitted heavy duty floor mats for the driver and passenger. I took the time to also cut and install rubber shelving mats in all of the cabinets. I have also installed a K&N air filter.

As a camper this vehicle has performed flawlessly. The LP heater works amazing and can run on & off all night, because it is supported by an upgraded heavy duty auxiliary battery. The fridge works great and is normally run at 2 on the scale of 1-5 for cold because of how efficient it is. Both stove burners work and can be lit at the same time, although the owner’s manual does not recommend this. The tables work great for eating or working and both seats swivel around for various seating configurations.

Areas of the vehicle that should be addressed are a crack on the lower portion of the driver side windshield. This crack has not expanded or grown from the time I have purchased the vehicle, even with the diverse climate here in Colorado. Since the crack did not spread, I could not justify replacing the windshield. Minor screen damage on the pop top camper, please see photos and video. I have done my best to stitch and repair this screen. These campers in my experience are notorious for screen damage. Dent from previous owner in the rear hatch on the driver side, please see photos. Minor scratches on the front of the vehicle from normal road wear. There was previously an awning installed on the passenger side of the vehicle that I had removed and body filled back up. Each hole was not bigger than a dime and was properly repaired.

I have taken and uploaded over 100 pictures and a video to flicker, so potential buyers can see every aspect of the vehicle. I have no problem allowing test drives for potential buyers or answering any questions. This vehicle and the trips taken in it have been a highlight of my life. I have full confidence in selling this vehicle as a mechanically sound and clean van.

Please note that the bike rack & bike pictured are not included with the sale of this vehicle.
