1981 Volkswagen Westfalia in Assuan Brown! It's a blast from the past with its period-correct "Boogie Woogie" interior that you can only find in early 80s air-cooled Vanagons. Picture this: two super cool captain chairs up front that swing around, and a cozy Z bed in the back that easily transforms from a couch into a bed that sleeps two! Pop the top and climb upstairs to discover another fold-out bed that accommodates two additional people.This groovy camper van is equipped with all the essentials for your adventures. You've got a fridge to keep your snacks and drinks chilled, a sink for all your washing-up needs, and a stove to cook up some delicious meals on the go. Just make sure you're filled up on propane! Also, there's an exterior electricity connection so you can easily hook up at a campsite.With its new wheels, tires, and suspension, this van is ready to hit the road. While it's not designed for intense off-roading, it's a champion when it comes to off-pavement exploration. Imagine finding that hidden gem of a spot where you can truly disconnect. You can even enjoy your favorite tunes on the go thanks to the Bluetooth connectivity, and there's a mic for making phone calls while cruising down the highway. And last but not least a Wi-Fi hotspot (T-Mobile) for any streaming, uploading needs.Under the hood, you'll find a mighty 2.0-liter air-cooled engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Now, it's important to note that this beauty requires a little patience behind the wheel. It's not like driving a modern car, but trust me, the experience is so worth it. Sure, it might be a bit slower climbing up those mountains but think of it as an opportunity to soak in the breathtaking views. You'll be cruising in second or third gear at 25-45 MPH uphill and reaching a max of 60 MPH on even surfaces in fourth gear.Upfront, you've got ceramic UV tint to keep the sun at bay, while the rest of the windows sport a darkened tint, keeping the interior cool.What's included2x camping chairsRecommendationsBring a pad, linen cloth, sleeping bag / blanket to keep warm. It does get cold, even with all the doors and windows closed at night.Other things to noteThe speed limit is really a set rule, and in order to avoid any issues must be strictly followed. These buses are like mountain bikes they really need to be in the right gear. Try to be optimal, patient, and don't ever just go to first gear while rolling over 5MPH. Also, being an older vehicle while rolling down hills braking must be applied in spurts and not constantly to avoid additional brake rotor heat, brake loss. Good advice to drop down a gear but remember not to drop down into first gear or reverse while moving.
Please no pets.
There will be a cleaning fee of $150 if there is excessive dirt / salt / sand.
