Fantastic video! i just bought a 1999 EVC and have been trying to figure things out. Very helpful!

One of the most informative videos I have seen for a prospective buyer. I think I have now figured out that this model is the one I'll be looking for. Now to just find the right one! Safe travels from California!

Fantastic. Had an old air cooled VW Westy years ago and loved the concept - not the drivetrain. The Vanagon and Eurovan's seem like evolutionary improvements on a light weight weekender type of vehicle. Chris seems like a really knowledgeable nice guy. Thanks for a great interview!

Man Patrick is on fire this season! awesome video as always...love from Zimbabwe

I’m soon getting a 2002 Eurovan and this video was perfect timing!

We love our 2003 weekender! Added an ARB Fridge (bolted to the floor) behind driver's seat, kitchen/storage box behind passenger's seat and solar/battery/shorepower ... and a little caframo fan for our back seat passenger.

We had one for 20 years. Loved it. Sold it five years ago because VW ended ALL support including vital drivetrain parts. Best choice now is to get a Pleasureway Tofino--same concept, similar layout, only 8 inches longer, based on Ram Promaster 1500. there are also scads of Promaster high roof camper conversions from mom & pop shops if youi don't mind a lower level of systems integration and want to save money.

I'm not into those pop-tops or tent-trailers unless one is in a very dry climate. It takes a lot of care to make sure mold doesn't start. Otherwise, good job. Good tip about fridge depth, Patrick.

Just picked up the same year EVC & so far love it! I was unaware of the electric locking differential...it’s there a button for that??

Very nice!!

I’m looking at a 93. Most camping will be within 3 hours or less. It is likely much more affordable and its a Westy Weekender. I’ll need to fix door locks and top canvas.

I want one now!!!

@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures I am looking at a 95. They guy said the following “366K on the body. The rebuild was done by the brother (a mechanic) of the previous owner. I have the receipts which totalled $11,500. It was done in 2019 at about 349K. So the engine has less than 20K on it. What say you? Asking 25k CAD.

I like the VW Eurovan. Would make a great minivan with the extra side door. The riding position wasn't comfortable for me. I needed longer arms. Has good suspension.

I have the 2002 EVC which is identical to the 2003. On average, it will do about 17~18 mpg in mixed driving and 20 mpg on the highway. The 24 valve VR6 is an excellent engine with plenty of passing power - even uphill! I bought it new in 2002 and I still can't find anything that can quite replace it. It is indeed the Swiss Army Knife of cars; everyday driver, camper, people mover and cargo van all in one.

I want one so bad!!!

It does have cruise control but no tilt steering. Was wondering if that could be changed. I have test driven a few. Very quick and fast. VW could have put a sliding door on the driver's side. That might have helped the sales.

Has anyone put a Japanese design engine in Eurovan? I know Subie conversions were on Vanagons. The transmissions were pretty prone to breaking in these, and $5000 to replace.

How much do you think is a good price for a 2001 vanagon, in great condition like yours? I’m looking at one that’s $39K

You can just create a duct for a window AC unit to blow into the front window of the poptop. Velcro, scissors and some waterproof fabric and fabric glue and you'd be good to go.
