This 1977 Volkswagen Westfalia Van Tour Video covers the exterior, interior, and driving. The owner has kept this van in prime condition and has converted this 44 year old retro van into a fully functioning self converted camper van! This Westfalia has a pop up camper which allows room for an extra bed. The van sleeps 4 people, has a fully functioning kitchen, refrigerator, workspace, plenty of storage and more! We compare this old-school van to our 2021 Winnebago Revel in this van tour video.

awesome video and great van. Not sure if you know, it is called Westfalia after the company that did the camping van conversion for VW. So what Winnebago is for the Sprinter, Westfalia is for the VW. and between 1999 and 2007, Westfalia (the company) was owned by DaimlerChrysler. So, your Revel and the T2 Westfalia are distant relatives :-)

That is some awesome history and did not know they are distant relatives. We knew Westfalia was the conversion company. Thanks for the insight on the history!

Another cool feature that we don't see anymore is the butterfly windows! On a hot day they are the BEST thing for cooling off. You can direct the breeze right at yourself. I wish they'd make a comeback. ⛺️

The original color was called Chrome Yellow. Had a touch of orange in it. Campers were solid colors only passenger vans had White above the belt line.

You mentioned you want to tune to listen to, but you have to make your own lol but did you notice and the camera showed it says got an old radio in there right on the dashboard, the radio has no USB port no tape player no CD no MP3 hook ups just a plain a.m. radio even though FM radio was around in the 70s but those cars packed and had only a.m radio. And there were some with eight tracks to and around that time cassettes for introduces some of those bands have those players to because I rode in the Volkswagen van when we lived in Germany with some friends I had one we bought it from some friends, so me and some other friends, we go on vacation together so that’s why you said you couldn’t get no tunes because of the old radio that’s on the dashboard I give you that heads up just an M radio with no other features because it’s a 70s model vehicle but very nice van. I love how the roof goes up like that that’s awesome if you trade in your the van for that you did a good job.

Nowadays they make little micro-FM-transmitters, so if you want to play something off your phone it will "broadcast" onto an empty FM frequency to play through the car speakers. But I'm not sure if they make them to work with an AM radio. Having the original radio is definitely something unique although it's not very practical. You could swap it out with an aftermarket AM/FM/CD/USB/MP3 unit, but save the original as a piece of history!

10:44 This van doesn't _have_ power steering. PS was invented to help you turn at lower speeds. That's also why steering wheels on older cars used to be larger, to give you more mechanical advantage. 11:42 This VW "has a lot of power"? Must be a really good use of that 75 hp!

Good luck on your new adventures. I will look forward to your future videos. My personal opinion is that the novelty of the VW will wear off and you will miss the Sprinter. Let us know your views.😀 Edit: I thought it was a permanent trade 🤣

@soe_tv 2 года назад
it doesn't have power steering and even the new cars turn off power steering when you get over a certain speed because you don't need it anymore. that's why it steered easily when you reached certain speed
