Where can I buy this shower set (plastic with sink or maybe, tank for water, I`m sorry, I don`t know)?? And how can I install it in my VW?
Please, help me! Crying or Very sad

Cong DP,

The Dehler-profi was never imported into the US.

Below is a German website for the Dehler-profi.
http://www.dehler-profi.de/

Also check http://www.vwbusland.de/ The club is having their annual treffen 11-13.06.2010

I actually attended this same Dehler-profi camping event a few years back in my 02 Eurovan. Even though I was not in a profi, they still let me join their camping.

Those Profi's are cool and I love those double pane windows. I remember one came up for sale on here a couple years back in I thiink Minnesota. Is it possible that he's the first Vanagon owner on the forum from Russia? Welcome to the madness and please post progress on your van!

OK,

There have been a couple of different interiour options for the Dehler Profi T3. Based on the fact that they are "Build to Order", so every one of these cars is somehow unique.

A) Shower:
Not all of them have the shower, based on the fact that some owneres decided that a 2nd sink would make more sense. Also, that is quite often good for you, because that normally means less rust in the car...... (To shower in the car is possible, but as always: Water in the car needs to get out, and if you have a not noticed leak the water goes its way ...)

B) Inserting a Shower into the car:
I would recommend against it. First, the rust issue. 2nd, if you have a shower, then you will have a small side-window instead of the large sidewindow without the shower. So, either you completely close the window (--> issue with air circulation, wet air inside ..) or you go through the hazzle to also get a small window or remodel the car to work around this.

Next issue there is, that quite often the shower units that go up for sale have some broken / damaged parts. That is not only prone for the shower units, more for the complete interiour. That is build out of plastics, and the parts that make this plastics flexible dissolve over the years, makeing the parts easy to break or be fragile. Reworking and restoration of these material is doable but cumbersome ...

Also, the picture you posted shows the shower of a 2+2 model. This is visible due to the fact that the door opens to the right -- the normal T3 had the opening to the left.

With all that added hazzle, I'd suggest that you enjoy the "tea kitchen" option. What of course would be an additional option is that you (somehow) get the warm water option that had also a possible option to be ordered). These units are also available from marina suppliers for boats. They either operate on 220V, 12V or by using the engine water to heat up the 10 to 15 liters of water up to 60 degree Celsius. With a modification on the tea sink (the cupboard right behind the drivers seat) you could then get a longer hose and take the shower directly in front of the sliding door. Advantages. Showering outside means no wet air inside Smile

I've re-fitted my 2+2 with a longer hose to shower outside. Means also that my car (interiour) can still be warm inside but not with wet air. So, after Skiing, you take a short showerr outside and get back into the warm, cozy car .... marvelous!!

C) Interiour:
Some of the cars have been only equiped with a "Business Setup", that means the even did not have the 2-stove cooking option. Instead they head there a really huge space for the dishes, (plates, cups ..etc)

In 19901991, the last of the cars where build with 150 Blue-Stars and 50 Whitestars as a basis. They had a slightly different floorplan for the build,

If you have any question on the background / about these cars, feel free to email me. I li'm from Germany and have driven a 1986 Dehler Profi T3 (2.2 Subi Powerplant, LPG Conversion etc. etc .. unfortunately R.I.P after a roll-over) and now have / own a 1991 Dehler T3 Whitestar 2+2.

Hi CongDP,

welcome to the Dehler-Owners.
A shower-booth is very hard to get, but anyway you don't want to shower in the Bus,
it is too much humidity, as the VW-busses tend to produce rust all by themselves.
Here is mine (the first pic, no sh..) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehler_Mobilbau

take care

Cong: do they not use salt on your winter roads? I know that cold, severe cold does not rust as quickly, here in Canada and I think northern parts of USA lots of salt is used on our winter roads. In fact Toronto uses a Brine solution pre forecasted snow storms. I wish it wasn't so but its a fact that is not going away in my lifetime.

Glad you are speaking up in here.

This one was imported in Canada a couple of years ago.

It's about to get sold if every thing works.

You can see some pics.

Nice other beast here:

that "nice other beast" is just the dehler top, on a westy. I agree that it's a nice beast though. Sure would be nice if that nice beast was sitting in my drive.
