1990 VW Subrau Syncro Weekender/Camper (Brief) History We are the
4th owners of this rare 4x4 VW Vanagon Camper, which was converted
to a Weekender/Multivan style in 2019. In other words, the kitchen
was removed, 2 jump seats were added, the rear seat was converted
to a Z-bed and a table panel was installed. At the same time this
vehicle received many upgrades. The most important was that it was
completely disassembled and painted with the windows out. All rust
was removed at this time. All new window, door, and pop-top seals
were added along with stainless steel fasteners. A new Sunbrella
canvas was installed in the pop-top, the rear seat was
reupholstered, the front bumper was upgraded to steel and re
enforced to accommodate being towed. The van was also equipped with
a secret security feature to prevent theft. Many other details were
upgraded or replaced at this time (For entire history, please
request). Recently, March 2025, this van received a rebuilt 2006
Subaru Forester 2.0 L engine with less than 60k miles. At the same
time, a new timing belt and water pump were installed. A leak down
test was performed and the engine is sound. The van will easily go
70-75 mph on the freeway. A few highlights: This van has Nokian
tires (great in snow). This van is equipped with a double locker;
one knob to engage the 4x4 system and another knob to lock the rear
differential. The rear facing jump seats on this van are easily
removable with a quick-release knob. This opens up much more
storage capacity. The passenger seat swivels. There are two tables,
2 double beds (one up, one down). The van has tinted window and A/C
but the A/C needs a recharge. Problems: This van needs a new heater
core, as the front heat isn't working (back heater works). There is
one deep scratch on the right rear panel and several rock chips on
the front grill. The automatic door locks are temperamental and
currently only working for the driver's side door and sliding door.
