i buy a vw t2 caravan and want to know the equipment is standard, the number vastidor is 2192018824 how is the equipment?

If that VIN is correct your camper began life as a panel van, likely converted to a camper later.
Post some pictures, maybe somebody can identify the manufacturer.

Here's what a late panel started out like. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/78panel.php

is the roof that rises think it's a camper since my technical sheet appears as delivery van motor caravan

Well a 21XXXXXXXX VIN is a panel van, what was done after it left the dealer is anyones guess. Many commercials were converted to campers after delivery by various manufacturers.

Folks, check out the slider on the rear most passenger window. That's a unique item.

it's a standard generic DIY window for fitting in any panevan ,VW or not.

the bus is a UK camper conversion based on a panelvan apparently because of lower sales tax on vans compared to delivery vans . generally these things are fairly low quality workmanship and not to be compared with westfalia.

from the interior photo i'd hazard a guess that the fitted furniture is not the original camper conversion.

no doubt some UK devon,dormobile or danbury owners will be along soon with more specific information and refutation of my "low quality" opinion. :wink:

Definitely not a VW sanctioned conversion, even the liscense plate says Other Than Westy :P , still a cool bus, congratulations Ipis!

You'll want to get those tubes from the fan shroud to the heat exchangers hooked up before it gets hot there, don't want to overheat it. But before you do that reconnect the oil light sender, it sure looks like there is no wire attached to it now, look for a blue and green wire that's loose.

Ok, the translator didn't quite get that one right :?

If you mean you need the original equipment list for the MOT inspectors it looks like yours is no longer original, you may have to remove most of the interior for the inspection.

Here's a few pages devoted to Devon conversions.

and where or how they could get a list of items to bring esactos my van, I wonder if she wore fridge, as I find the items that she wore?

Mon Nov 02, 2009 1:25 am

as I find out the extras you have, such as whether or refrigerator had to cook or heat sink ...........

You'll have to look at the brochures in the links I posted, although since your bus doesn't have a Devon interior currently there's a small chance the top and windows were robbed from a wreck and added to yours later. Go through the links for clues on how to identify a bus that Devon worked on.

technical sheet sets in my motorhome that is, it could also investigate whether the number of laccase volkswagen chassis is something, or see if there are any more in order plate nose will continue to investigate
