1984 VW Vanagon
1.9L engine, auto trans
212K mile
Conversion to camper by Adventurewagen
asking $3800

I met Ed Anderson, creator of the Adventurewagen campers, at his workshop in Mendocino CA around 1995. I was very impressed with the quality of his work. The fiberglass raised roof is insulated, the woodwork inside is teak, the layout of the camper is very convenient.

It says it has a water cooled engine.
Is it a flat 4 similar to air cooled engines?

I have owned a couple of AWs, and they are THE BOMB. Very very well thought out and executed. $3800 is cheap, usually, for an A-wagen that has much life left in it.

I'll guess that the 1.9L is a wasserboxer. Think liquid cooled T4.
Though there was an IDI diesel of 1.9L displacement made as well. However, '84 is a bit early for one those to be original.

My 1st AW was a 1981 Vanagon with a factory 1.6 liter diesel. Can you say S.....L.....O.....W ? Rated at 48 horsepower. :Wow1: Man I loved that thing.

This post is 5 years old. I doubt it's still available.

That same rig, if in decent condition, would be 3x as much today!
