PHASE 1 Long time syncro owner/wrencher here that has owned many over the years and sold his last one (#5-svx powered westfalia) a while ago to dabble in the "build your own sportsmobile" arena. somethings i loved about the E350, RB, 7.3psd, colorado camper van top, but i sold it anyway and got...

hmm, my wife is from Quebec City, i have always been a syncro guy (on syncro build #6 right now) and and when we met she had a lovely Old English Sheep Dog as well, which passed on us 1 month ago at 14 yrs old. cheers

hot water is probably the most confusing part of the 4WC, start by opening the faucet (hot and cold), it will never drain unless open--causes a negative pressure. opent eh fresh water drain (parked on a slope helps to) and drain for a while until you think you have 6 gallons of free space in the...

furnace will set off the smoke alarm when new, burning off the residue from manufacturing. takes a good couple hours of running to clear it all off then all will be good (i ran mine for hours at home before using in the field). you will need to drain the 6 gallons from the hot water tank as...

im back sold the 4x4 7.3psd E350 (think build your own sportsmobile) a while ago and went the four wheel camper route (which is awesome), but i missed my old VW syncros of the past, enter new project to keep the winter blues away. she will get the full treatment--top, motor swap suspension etc...

ive had the pleasure to be around this truck in person, VERY nicely set up rig, someone will get a good one

i have 4 guzzi's, as well as many more bikes (640 adv is up your alley i presume)--i have a sickness. who knows what i will be on or in next month, i usually attend every month, but have missed the 3 previous months

i tried to chat with you at cars and coffee, you were surrounded by people. nice looking rig though (coming from a guy who has built 5 syncros and a 4x4 pop top econoline). i was there on my moto guzzi though--next time

that is almost exactly what i had planned for my rig, taken one step further.

we ordered it pretty well optioned out, compressor fridge, furnace, hot water, aux battery, solar prewire, awning etc. I've been through 6 different 4x4 camper vans and knew what i wanted and didnt want this time around, going more on the side of amenities this time since we plan on spending...

timely post, i just ordered my Hawk last night, now i have to patiently wait a month for it--ha. gives me time to mod my 02 tundra and get my van up for sale

i spent quite a bit of time today at rocky mountain four wheel campers (local to me), gotta admit im pretty sold on a hawk model and came home and crunched some numbers with the options i want. fantistic facility and Chris is excellent BTW, spent all afternoon with me. i also realized with used...

i did this lift, with correction brackets over thankgiving. top notch product and had no hang ups other than breaking my torque wrench on the multiple 125ftlb bolts. i also used a ratchet strap to pull thing in and hold the opposite wrench when torqueing said bolts. handles awesome and i did not...

i think i typed that wrong, im more concerned about snowfall during the night when top is up, and ability to handle it and not collapse. i dont think i would ever raise a roof full of snow--im from snow country and know better--ha. but i would count on a yakima box being up there almost all the...

as title says, thinkin about moving from van camping world to slide in pop up truck camper world since i already have a 02 toyota tundra i love and trust and narrow my fleet down some. looking for honest opinions on what i should look for to fit a first gen tundra. i have ALWAYS had 4x4 vans (5...

Using my 7.3L psd for what it is designed for, towing a syncro parts van for my buddy form another buddy. 2wd Westfalia to 4WD westfalia now in the works. think i killed my freshly built tranny though--800 miles on it now it wont shift out of 1st easily (at least its under warranty). I may...

i would not buy another van from Javier Alverez (the seller), just sayin. long list of things i had to redo on mine and im still not done. spent more time in the shop than on the road

as previous owner of 5 seperate syncros (which i still dearly miss)--major props! now you got me thinkin of heading back that direction--doh

ive had almost every dual sport under the sun, 2 klr650's, transalp, DR's, XR's etc, etc. the KTM640 is hands down the best one in this cc size class, all the other ones did everything mediocre, KTM doesnt really make any sacricies and does everything well. packable, huge range on the tank, more...

your gonna need a bigger boat
