This van as an auxiliary heater that was from the factory. It puts out 38,000 BTUs when it is working. It recently stopped working in April, but I have not tried to fix it because I haven't needed it. This is a very nice feature to have and only came as an option on the Canadian Vanagons.
Has original manuals. I can also provide a PDF copy of the Bentley Manual
Selling w backup fuel filter and fuel pump. It is running fine but I have heard some cavitation in the fuel pump, doesn't sound like that all the time. Hard to spend the time to replace it since it is running fine, but I'd have these on hand for when it wants to go.
This is a great van and in the best condition that I have seen in a 1985 Westfalia, ever. However, this is an old van and there will most likely be some money and love you will have to put into it along the way. I have owned several of these and this has been my favorite one. I am selling only because I have upgraded to a Sprinter. I love this van and would love to see it go to someone that will take good care of it.
I have title and all import documents from my import from Canada.
