1983.5 VW Vanagon Westfalia "Ophelia" – Pop-Top Camper, Rebuilt Engine, Adventure-Ready
Meet Ophelia, our beloved 1983.5 VW Vanagon Westfalia. She's a mid-year model with the reliable 1.9L water-cooled engine and a manual transmission that's a joy to drive. If you're looking for a road-trip companion that's equal parts nostalgic charm and functional adventure, she's the real deal.
• Mileage: 212,000 (engine rebuilt prior to our purchase in 2018 — runs strong, no oil leaks)
• Engine: 1.9L water-cooled gasoline
• Transmission: Manual
• Maintenance: Serviced exclusively by German Motors in Salem, an excellent VW specialist
• Electrical: Auxiliary battery system + upgraded Optima solid-cell main battery
• Interior setup:
• Pop-top roof with bed above and below
• Stove & sink
• Refrigerator removed and converted to spacious pantry
• New awning for shade and rain protection
• Upgraded sound system with sub-woofers — perfect for those highway playlists
Condition: Clean, well-loved, and road-ready. No leaks. Everything functions as it should.
Normal wear for her age — but nothing that affects the adventure. The ceiling headliner above driver seat needs replaced and she is getting close to needing new tires.
Why We Love Her
Ophelia has been more than a van — she's been our rolling refuge. From waking up to the sunrise over Crater Lake to evenings at Mt. Angel Oktoberfest, she's been our cozy home away from home. There's something special about the sound of that engine, the feel of the road, and the slow, simple pace that only a Westy can give you.
She has had consistent and quality care, and she's rewarded us with years of reliable, memory-filled travel.
