Buying an older motorhome is more like buying an older house than it is like buying an older car: The more recently it’s been lived in, the better. Fortunately, then, it seems that this 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Transporter bodied by Tischer for sale on Hemmings.com has been enjoyed as a motorhome rather recently and kept up well, though the seller does note some aspects of it that could be improved. From the seller’s description:
122000 kilometers, 4 speed manual, 1.6 diesel 4 cilinder, rare, nice condition, new tires, interior freshly redone, appliances not tested so assume they are not working. Has fridge, stove and since and a porta potty system and shower, no ac anywhere, no generator. No power options, no computers, great on diesel gas. Just a reliable old VW camper that will bring you anywhere, just not fast lol.
This is a rare Tisher Camper, only 82 made and only 10 as the XL model, like this one who is 2 feet longer as the regular Tischer RV. I do not know how much fresh the grey water holding tanks are. There is heating on board but is not tested. New alternator and return lines.
The cushions in back could use a good cleaning or new covers.RV is 99% rustfree and i have more photos of engine,frame and tires.
There is an area above cab with cabinets and storage, a handy person could make a sleep area there. The u shaped seating area in back can be changed into a big bed. The engine is in back and insulated by wood from the bed area so its nice and quiet up front, even when going 65.
