Want a camper that’s within your reach? Don’t want to spend a fortune or be bogged down with a large vehicle that you can’t easily park, or with complicated systems to maintain?

It might be time look at VW Westfalia Vanagon Multivana. The Vanagon way of life is about not being in a hurry, enjoying the journey, and finding your way along gentle winding coastal roads.

The simplicity, size, functionality and cost make a Vanagon an excellent alternative to other campers. Those that know the make and model will understand that finding a 1991 Mutlivan in great shape, well taken care of and with low miles is a rare find.

Unlike a full camper, the Multivan maximizes interior space and minimizes extra weight, making it more of a multi-use vehicle. With its well-designed interior, the Multivan can car camp (sleeps 4), day travel (seats 6), transport goods and toys (open interior can hold a lot), and of course road trip.

We've had our van, Stella, since 2002. She has enabled us to surf, bike, hike and enjoy many a primitive as well as established campsite. Stella has been up and down the coast many times, to Mexico, Death Valley, the East side of the Sierras and just recently to Oregon and back.  She is now ready for her next adventure. Our busy schedules keep us from using her as much as we’d like, so we think it’s time to pass the baton to her next adventure mate.

Many are seeking ways to vacation but minimize exposure during the pandemic. Stella is a great way to go. Simply bring a cooler, a camp stove, and even a cassette toilet, and you are good to go! Pop out the awning, pop open a drink, kick off your shoes, it’s vacation time. Stella is ready for for fun: bikes fit inside or add a bike rack to the hitch, and use the Yakima rack and cargo box for extra gear and toys.

Heads will turn when you show up in her. She comes with a slick new new paint job, brand new canvas in the pop top, upgraded suspension and breaks, a beefy bumper with off-road Hella lights, and an overall wow factor. The top end of the engine was proactively rebuilt at 100k miles. She has been well taken care of, serviced regularly, only gets Premium gas, is always allowed time to warm up, and treated with the respect she deserves. Clean title and smog certificate in hand. She’s ready to go.
Stock Vanagons at reduced prices are available, but Stella comes with the work already done ($10k paint and $10 in upgrades).
