So, I quite enjoy the spotted threads in the other forums, and I think I have searched enough to confirm that we don't have one here in Eurovan-land...so I thought maybe we should try to start one? Would others agree?
In an effort to kick this off, here are two that I regularly see here in Harrisonburg, VA.
A later model weekender, and a short nose full camper.
Also, I had posted this one in the Eurovans in the Snow thread...but I've since still spotted it multiple times at Whitegrass this season. Looks cool with the racks and roof box too..

No pix, but about a week or two ago a long-nose EVC spotted my 2001 Weekender on CA-I80 eastbound, and vice versa. |

Edinburgh pulled out of a school gate right in front of me best pic I could quickly get. Really nice looking transporter.
I’ve seen I don’t know more than 10 T6 Californias. VAG continues to really miss the market not offering them here IMO. I’d sell my car and eurovan in a second and buy one for the double duty daily/ camper- still cheaper than a new sprinter conversion by tens of thousands. There are also so many other nice small campers, like smaller than a LWB sprinter. I just don’t understand why we don’t have some of these options stateside (other than the stupid f-ing chicken tax). _________________ 1991 Vanagon GL 2.1 AT Westfauxlia.

This is badass. Owner has placed a full length roof rack with four crossbars on a weekender (and a forward loaded a roof box no less). The critical component here is the the geographic context. If no one is opening or camping in the upper bed area, why not utilize a full length rack in the dead of winter on top of dormant camping addition. _________________ Old stable: '63 Baja, '69 Square, '72 Bug, '65 & '67 Samba, '73 412 wagon & 2dr 4spd

Do me (us) a solid, since this van appears to you often, take some close up pictures of that rack set up on a weekender. _________________ Old stable: '63 Baja, '69 Square, '72 Bug, '65 & '67 Samba, '73 412 wagon & 2dr 4spd

Actually I don't think I'll see this one anymore. I remember seeing it for sale, and the owner replaced it with some other well-equipped van that I now see at Whitegrass...never really connected with them! I am sure it is out there somewhere. _________________ 1993 Weekender - Hula
