The electric VW Syncro off road camper is ready to test drive, but before we do it's time to give you a tour of this amazing build. We've kept the awesome 4x4 syncro system as well as adding a 100kWh battery which will enable it to have some great off road adventures.
This beast also has solar panels, a V2L system as well as all of the internal camping equipment including cooking hobs and fridge running of the main vehicles battery pack. We've also added AC to keep the occupants from melting when they adventure into hotter climates and power steering to make the drive a little easier.

I love it! Convert my syncro next. Oh wait, I have no money because I own a $yncro 😅

@LightBranches Год назад

It’s like moss...it also grows on you.

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

Very good. 😄👍

@AlbertManiscalco Год назад

not if youre a rolling stone

@TheHkluivert Год назад

Don’t know about you but there’s no moss on me 😳. I shower sometimes…

@ManfredGorgus Год назад

I love the colour -nice contrast with the black body-parts so.

@jimcabezola3051 Год назад

I will NEVER cease to marvel at people who can somehow lay out the various leads and wires in an electrical system such that they look so smart and clean as yours do. Me? I'd wonder if I should lengthen or shorten a wire or start over with another lead or whatever. Such a masterful job of wiring! The matte green paint looks the business, too. Aloha!

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

Thank you and Aloha. 👍

Great to see this rugged green and black machine outside The Sloop in Porthgain ;-)

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

Yep, it was a wet one for sure that day. Can’t beat The Sloop, great food and beer. 🍺🍻👍

@enterlematrix Год назад

Looks, "mint"!

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

I see what you did there, very good. 😆👍

@Milkshakman Год назад

Please consider one day doing a deep dive video on wiring? I'm particularly interested in the possibility of cheap low-end conversions (i.e. early 2000s Hondas, Toyotas) and I'm wondering how much there is to all of that. Keep up the good work, this channel is fantastic!

@michaelganshirt8795 Год назад

This is my new dream vehicle.

@techphonephonetech3400 Год назад

THIS IS THE GREATEST!! My actual dream car. I have a monthly fantasy about commissioning one from ECC and getting it shipped to Australia!!!!! this is it 100%

@MarkHey Год назад

As I commented before, I started my "Camping career" in my uncles T2 Westfalia and love VW Busses ever since. This one is sheer perfection, minus only minor details. I would have left the colour ;-)

@leewheeldon262 Год назад

Well it's the right colour for me as I'm green with EV envy 😍😍😍😍

@sambarker1245 Год назад

Richard - know you are super busy and all, but I am desperate to see this van out on the road! Chop chop with the next in the series please 😉

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

It’s out tomorrow 👍

@westfaliaboy Год назад

As an owner of a 1991 Westy, which is due for another engine (400,000 K - second engine in) I am VERY interested in this Richard. Very nice job. Kudos to ECC……

@georgepelton5645 Год назад

I like the color, it contrasts well with the black parts of the van. Looks great!

@locknut5382 Год назад

I love the colour scheme. The black sets off the matte green beautifully.

@AraCarrano Год назад

Nice to see the systems coming together. Skip the paint and do the headliner.

@airchie2 Год назад

Looks very nice and I love the colour. But only because it contrasts nicely with the Black bits. Looking forward to seeing how it fares offroad. Would also be interested in seeing how much of the battery gets used if you fire up the induction hobs etc.

@EatSleepEmpire Год назад

I love these with the front grill painted body color.

@LordFawlty Год назад

I must say I like the colour a lot.

@54mgtf22 Год назад

She’s a beauty. Love your work, Richard 👍

@georgepelton5645 Год назад

This camper is a masterpiece. ECC has done a masterful job. I want one just like it! 😀

Paint: I would like a dark forest green trim rather than black. Otherwise, this is such a fine project! You Fellas are doing wonderful work. And Tim is doing crisp filming and also doubling up as a great sidekick.

@SHOdown13 Год назад

Nice conversion. Curious to see it run, climb.

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

Coming soon!

@g0fvt Год назад

I think it is one of those colours that looks better the more of it you cover up. When you think about the hazards of propane cooking and heating sitting on top of 100kWh of batteries seems a smart move, as well as doing away with all of the condensation. Unlike the Ferrari I cannot think of anyone that would buy a VW Synchro for the engine sound. I look forward to the next video, will be interesting to see how the range is when you are just trundling around.

@geirmyrvagnes8718 Год назад

I'm sure there are some VW sound enthusiasts, but I don't think those engines came with a soul installed as standard. 😉

@francesconicoletti2547 Год назад

When the Wikipedia article on the Volkswagen Type 2 has an entire section on the various engine replacements for the camper I think Spud might be safe. Although the section might need an edit as it only mentions ICE replacements for the original engines. That colour seems to be a factory original along with a two tone brick, I have no idea why, the earlier and later models had much better paint schemes, the 70s have a lot to answer for.

@timjohnson67 Год назад

Lovely jubbly!! It looks good and I bet it tastes good. Excellent job, love the colour and looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for another really interesting vid.

@kerongranger2229 Год назад

I think the green might take some time to grow on me as well but overall it’s pretty unusual which is just great 😌

@MarkSpohr Год назад

Another amazing conversion. Well done!

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

Thank you very much!

@easy08154711 Год назад

After the Landrover I thought it is not getting any better, you proof me wrong. This conversion is king!

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

This could be the only vehicle to tempt me away from my Landy. It all depends how well it performs off road. 👍

@poxcr Год назад

The paint job looks amazing! I love the way the green contrasts with the flat black parts!

@joeg3950 Год назад

Fantastic conversion! Although not my first choice, I like the color. Cheers!

@matauboy Год назад

I'd only judge the colour when it's in traffic and in natural light. Loving your channel and your amazing work.

@julianpritchard2558 Год назад

If it’s only slightly better then the standard synchro , it’ll be amazing. My old synchro crew cab was awesome off road, can’t wait for the test drive.

@DarronBirgenheier Год назад

Love the green!

@cuebner Год назад

I love the 12 V switch panel. Retro look and modern function. Getting rid of the gas burners and replacing it with induction ones is another great choice.

@andrewthornegeo Год назад

What an amazing piece of kit. I'm convinced the new owner will love it. :)

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

I think so too!

The colour is rank, silver was much nicer. Clever interior 🤓👍

@Cedmth Год назад

As usual, this is a piece of art, love what you have done with it! Can't wait to see the test drive and actual range while using it as a camper! Hope a bolt-in kit will make it to production ;)

@vincentrobinet2713 Год назад

Fantastic build! Looking forward to the on road, off road and camping tests in a future video. The more indepth the details, the better.

@simonevans8979 Год назад

Nah, that green looks bucket-of-sick like. Should have been red, or blue.

@georgedaville4662 Год назад

Another absolute cracker of a conversion Richard, executed to the highest level of perfection as per usual. Love the green colour, it suits its very green credentials. The finish and technology incorporated into this vehicle is outstanding. I much prefer this as an alternative to the latest VW offerings. I would imagine you will sell a few of these Richard. ❤

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

Thanks George. 👍

@markwellington1254 Год назад

I need one for me! What a great vehicle you guys have there and so usable for any outdoor enthusiast! Looks like great ground clearance too.

@jebediah398 Год назад

I think it looks amazing

@drivethru6155 Год назад

The colour reminds me of the agressively orange Westfalia my parents rented on our camping trip when I was little. It was an interesting trip that I think this one would improve on haha. It could barely go up hills, would roll like crazy around corners and it felt like it would get blown over when a transport truck flew by. Great memories!

@rpjwhite Год назад

Really want one. Well impressed you are able to use the main battery for the whole camper. Does it have the standard campsite socket for slow charging? That would be a neat install.

@ElectricClassicCars Год назад

Yep, it can be charged up off a campsite hookup via a special cable into the existing Type2 charge socket. 👍

@terryfleming7084 Год назад

As a old VW fan, I love it! I like the color too, especially with the two-tone! I can’t wait to see it’s off-road test. Looks like fun.

@philipgrice1026 11 месяцев назад

I love what you've done ... ... except for the colour. What a naff choice. And then you did it matt. I suspect that shade of green would look better in a gloss finish as the reflecting surface would reduce the 'in your face' feel it has now. But if I was still into camping I'd want one of these done this way. But, sadly, my wife considers staying at a Holiday In as 'camping'.

@TheRothenborg Год назад

@firstlast7152 Год назад

Just a comment on the van's general design, I wonder how does it make sense to have the upper sleeping area open like that instead of having the bottom of the wedge towards the front? Seems to me if there's some sort of malfunction that allows it to pop up, if it were flipped around with the bottom of the wedge facing front there'd be little to no damage. But as is if it were to pop up while driving it's basically an air dam and depending how fast you're going that air hitting it could cause damage from it tearing away. Odd design choice.

@johnt.848 Год назад

I'm not a fan of the wedge design either, but they seem popular now, maybe they are cheaper to build. I prefer the whole top lifting to equal height.

@willstack6188 Год назад

i think the color needs some accent stripes to really set it off, but definitely have someone do some photoshop so you can experiment with stripe width and colors
