Vehicle Description
2000 T4 Eurovan with the Winnebago Industries camper conversion. We
purchased it as a bone stock model in 2019 and immediately set
about upgrading it to the tune of about $45,000. Before I get into
the mechanicals, I'd like to say that Selah has been our baby for
nine years. We've explored the Western U.S., drove across the
United States on a 13-state journey from California to Florida, and
explored much of the southern U.S. and Baja California. Now we
mostly use her to tailgate rocket launches from Cape Canaveral.
She's won five car show awards (see below) and has her own
Instagram account @selahthewondervan. The only reason we're parting
with her is that we've gone everywhere we can within range of where
we live and figure it's time for someone else to have some great
adventures with her. (And we got a boat). Thanks for hearing me
out. On to the basics! The basics: Engine - 2.8 liter VR6 - We had
the top end rebuilt by Tomas Sport Tuning in Berkeley when we
bought her at . Work included replacing the timing chain and
tensioners. Transmission - Original four-speed automatic
transmission was replaced at 175,182 miles with a rebuild from
German Transaxle of America in Bend, Ore. Note: It will
occasionally hesitate for a split second going from first to
second. It's done that since the day it was installed and we've put
58,000 miles on it since then with no issue. Suspension - GoWesty
lift kit with Fox shocks, 16-inch black wheels and GeoLander tires.
Two new Geolanders on the front and a brand new spare mounted under
the van. Brakes - Stock system with new rotors on the front.
Odometer - 233,000 miles Camper package - Standard camper package
with fully-functional stove, sink and propane stove. We never used
the stove and only fired up the sink to sanitize the water tank.
The refrigerator works fine, but they were never particularly
efficient. We almost always packed an Igloo cooler. New GoWesty
propane system - filled but never used.
