Thank you for choosing the Euro Van Camper.
Your new EuroVan was constructed by Volkswagen in their Hannover, Germany assembly plant. Volk-
swagen has b een supplying the world with vans for over 45 years, an d the EuroVan ref lects this e xpe ri -
ence.
The mid-sized EuroVan is a heavy-duty vehicle built to endure a wide variety of applications, well
beyond that of a typical minivan. This makes it ideal for a camper vehicle, where comfort and drive-
ability must be combined with strength and durability.
The Winnebago camper package was designed, engineered and quality built in Forest City, Iowa. In
developing the package, we focused on three primary objectives:
I. CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THE TRADITIONAL VOLKSWAGEN CAMPER.
To accomplish this we had to provi de the m ost effici ent use of space possibl e, and deli ver a high
level of material and workmanship quality.
Thanks to Volkswagen’s long wheelbase, the EuroVan Cam per has more i nterior volume than the
previous model, the Vanagon Camper. We believe that we have found the optimum blend of storage
and living area within this larger space. Even t he re fr igerator is a special design to fit two cubic feet
into the smallest possible galley space.
Regardi n g quality a n d durab il ity, w e hop e tha t ma ny of ou r e fforts are e asily recognizab le , eve n to
the casual observer . However , what would not be obvious, for example, is the fact that t he entire gal-
ley is anchored by an aluminum frame, tig-welded together and then electro-statically “powder
painted”. Or that the cabinet panels are solid-cor e woo d covered with high-pressure laminates.
Even the “pop-up” top is Winnebago’s own design and construction. Here we use an aluminum
fram e an d hi gh-densi ty f oam, s andwi ched be tween two poly m er sheets. The re sult i s an i ns ulated
to p t hat is much stro nger than Fiberg lass , a nd some wha t lighter in weight.
II. MAXIMIZE VERSATILITY.
Ty pi cal ca mpe r-v ans are good cam pers , but not v ery capab l e at haul i ng people or thi ngs. Wi th the
EuroVan Camper, we set out to ensure that on any given day, it can be a complete camper, a roomy
passenger van, or an effective cargo van.
Thi s versati l ity com es from th e ga ll ey -lef t lay out, com bi ned wi th an opti onal cen ter sea t, and th e
fact that the center and rear seats are easily folded or removed. The result is room for up to six full-
sized people or a remarkable variety of cargo (or many t hings in bet w e en! )
