1993 Volkswagen Eurovan Weekender

s-l1600 (1)
This weekend an old, rarely-seen but often kept in touch with friend came to the island I live on in his camper van. It’s a 2004 Ford E350, fully decked out with a kitchen, stand-up desk, futon, tons of storage, and a hightop so you can stand fairly comfortably. It reinspired my desire for a van that you can hang out in as you roadtrip. And while the draw to the Vanagon is well-documented, the later Eurovan has its charms. This 1993 Weekender is equipped with the classic Audi 5-cylinder (with classic Audi miles) and pop-top, but the weekender model eschews the kitchen for just a fold-out table and rear futon, but it’s a good base for trips shorter than a week. It’s an inexpensive way to get in on the van life, and a platform ripe for improvement as the years go on.

With no reserve and little interest thus far, it could go for right near its opening bid of $8,500. With the height advantages of a pop-top and a simple interior, this van is a great camper for the money. If you put that same amount into some improvements – a rebuild or new engine when the time comes, a stereo, a more extensive camping setup – you’d have a heck of a camper for what’s pretty much the cost of entry for any Vanagon.
