About The Eurovan Weekender


The Eurovan Weekender includes a list of basic camper features, like a refrigerator/cooler box built in to the base of one of the rear-facing seats. The rooftop pop-up area, a feature unique among these vans, allows a full seven feet of headroom in the van when the bed is removed, and with the van in place it still allows occupants to sit in the main cabin while the bed above is set up.


Extremely durable, tent-like, mesh-material flaps, along with sliding side screen windows down below allow for excellent ventilation. In 1999, VW™ installed a V6 engine rated at 140 HP, 2.8-liter VR6 was modified to yield more torque in the Eurovan Weekender than it does in other VW™ models.


A 3-speed automatic is the only transmission option. The Eurovan Weekender has a 4400-pound towing capacity (if equipped with brakes), and had a cargo capacity of 1/2 ton.


Low-speed traction control is standard, along with fully independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, antilock braking, a reinforced floor panel, a daytime running light option, as well as a child safety lock for the sliding door.


These versatile vans come standard with power windows, a pollen/dust filter, air conditioning, power locks, cruise control, 6-speaker cassette stereo, intermittent wipers, heated windshield-washer nozzles, rear wiper/washer, and power mirrors.

Eurovan specifications have been gathered from many sources, and to the best of our knowledge, they are correct. Some specifications do not apply to all models, but they will give you an education on most of the standard features for all Eurovan models.

Volkswagen


The Volkswagen Transporter was the first front-engined van produced by German automaker Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and is the successor of the Volkswagen Type 2 van. It is built on the Volkswagen Group T platform.



The T4, released in 1990, was the first Transporter without a rear engine. This front-wheel drive model was available in two wheelbases, and being front-engined allowed a far greater diversity for special bodies - from wreckers to three-axled minibuses to large box-bodied ambulances, almost everything was possible. Transversely mounted engines with four, five and six cylinders, and especially the very popular TDI diesel engines with direct injection, brought the Transporter's performance back to state of the art, which couldn't really be said about either the T2 or T3.
