1997 VW Eurovan Winnebago Edition

Seller's Description

Hi, I am Emma! 🚐 I used to be an ugly duckling 🐣 😢. Created from at least 14 Shades of grey... Then my current owner came and saved me! 😃 He used all his stimulus checks to turn me into a warm, cozy and comfy beauty. 🥰 - He took the old, dull grey popup tent out and replaced it with a new, bright and warmly colored maize (warm yellow) popup tent from GoWesty (https://gowesty.com/products/pop-top-tent-winnebago?variant=41425052074149) that adds a lot of nice warm color inside when the sun shines in or the lights out and lasts much longer (acrylic) than the old one plus being mold resistant (for wetter climates). - Plus a velcro-fastened custom-fitted insulation for the pop-up tent (white inside) for colder weather (https://fanchers.com/store/ols/products/eurovan-winnebago-mv-camper-weekender-pop-top-thermal-insulation-kit-wintercamping-warm-winter-camp), a 5 Layer Quilted Thermal, Radiant, Vapor Barrier that will increase your pop top insulation to a R8 Value. - a 7 Gallon sturdy, black cast aluminum pressurized Yakima roadshower fastened to the outside on the driver side (https://yakima.com/products/roadshower?variant=40602383712304) that works as a water tank or for cleaning gear with gravity or as a solar shower with an attached air pressure generator (included with the van). - a new sturdy Class 3 trailer hitch from CURT with 2" receiver (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000765DJK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) rated for 4000lbs. weight (for trailers, bike carriers, hitch boxes, etc...). - a large Stowaway 2 hitch cargo box for extra space (that can be exchanged for a bicycle carrier or a strong metal basket for wood or boxes) (https://www.stowaway2.com/max-cargo-carrier-black) that fits 16 cubic feet / 200lbs. of extra gear for camping, water sports, etc... - a water-proof bag from GoWesty for the luggage rack on top of the driver cabin to keep your wood or others items dry while driving, parking, surfing or camping, together with a new luggage tie-down kit from GoWesty. - a camouflage net (for hunting or wild camping / $100), - an awesome sand-colored 2.5m (8") square ARB awning from Australia with dimmable multicolor LED lights (yellow against bugs, white to cook) that comes with a silver aluminum case and is fastened to the passenger side (https://store.arbusa.com/hard-case-awning-with-light-2-5m-silver-814411/), side- and wind shades and a mosquito room tent ($600 just for the extras). - He cleaned and scrubbed me in every crevice, had my transmission renewed (over $700), took out the old, ugly, heavy and power hungry fridge and replaced it with a nice new woodshelf from GoWesty for more space to store more beautiful things in me (much better to use a modern electric one that can also be pulled out when needed to create more space while not driving)(https://gowesty.com/products/eurovan-fridge-elimination-kit?_pos=7&_sid=f2b90d69b&_ss=r&variant=41253832032421), - He bought warm colored light brown/beige Carhartt covers to cover my grey seats (https://www.covercraft.com/product/carhartt-precisionfit-custom-seat-covers/CGT-GTCA) and - beautified my grey cabinet doors and the metal stove-cover with a warm reddish-brown very good looking cherrywood Fournier (https://www.amazon.com/Cherry-24x96-woodback-Veneer-Sheet/dp/B07WJ4WHZX) to make me look and feel all warm and cozy inside 🥰. Then he changed my cold, ugly interior fluorescent lights for 3 small bright halogen bulbs on a string over the stove which are dimmable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N2W90M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). - and added two more designer Halogen lights (all dimmable) for the interior cabin that can be rotated and focused on wherever they are needed, (one of them lifting up with the popup tent, so they could be used for the second floor if needed). - He also added white incandescent christmas string lights to the passenger side of the cabin for super low light nights (also dimmable), so now my lights shine bright and warm at nights, turning me into a little office, pretty camper, love cave, etc. that is bathed in warm colors... ❤️‍🔥 - Since he was still not tired of me, he bought 2 new high quality deep cycle house batteries (https://gowesty.com/products/lifepo_aux_battery-50ah?_pos=9&_sid=7ab1cb61b&_ss=r&variant=41426646368421), - a Renogy DC charger and solar converter (https://gowesty.com/products/dc-dc-charger-and-solar-charge-controller?_pos=3&_sid=712a1d336&_ss=r&variant=41426646270117), rewired me for solar energy on the roof and - added 3 flexible solar panels (https://gowesty.com/products/renogy-100w-flexible-solar-panel-1?_pos=3&_sid=b3bdec83d&_ss=r&variant=41254032408741) so I could make my own power for my own glory (but also keep charging by land line or while driving / running the motor)... 🌅 I can now run MacBooks, notebooks, a small stereo, charge phones all day long or shine bright lights all through the night... - He added velcro-fastened mosquito screens at all openings and windows, including the top hatch and back hatch (($500)), a telescopic ladder to get to the roof ($100). light & foldable wood slats (IKEA) over the bed that can be rolled away when not in use, instead of the super heavy and dark grey particle board for the upper sleeping space that was taking all the light and standing space away, - a luxurious organic latex mattress with sheep wool padding (Lifekind, $1000) that feels like sleeping on clouds and can also be pulled out for even more space (can be replaced with a non-toxic foam topper for ultimate luxury) and gold colored organic bed sheets, - he insulated all my cold cavities with organic sheep wool from Germany (that also breaks down VOCs), imported a shower tent from Germany that goes over my back lift gate and creates privacy for either showering, dressing or a outside composting toilet , - added a $1000 composting toilet with fan that goes under the bench in the back and can be used outdoors, and many other small things, like a renewed cruise control, refilled AC, new built-in speakers, new door handles, new popup struts, wind and rain deflectors, a tie and a thousand small things that make life easier and more comfortable... 😊 He even started getting the parts for a yakima roof carrier which were hard to get during the pandemic and still need a few parts to be complete and ready to install. (He kept all my old parts for those that love dark grey, heavy and ugly parts and want to reinstall them). I am so happy now. I feel so beautiful, new, refreshed and ready for my new owner. 😍 My old one unfortunately moved to Costa Rica and could not take me with him. 💔 Will you take me home with you? ☺️ I am perfect for summer trips and great for spring and fall, but I am not sure if I would go into Alaska in the winter... 🥶 I can't wait to meet my new owner! Love, ❤️ Always... Emma. ps: Everything that is not needed by you can be taken out and can reduce the overall price.
