A similar Hi_Ace camper conversion took wifey and I all around Europe and parts of Turkey
for 23,000Miles in 4 and a half months many moons ago no problems except the skinny gear shift broke off in Paris...used several metal bars and a weld job to compensate they all tanked so drove it with a SHORTY SHIFTER
.....sold it back to the Dealership in Reading England afterwards for wot I paid..it woz disabled friendly (for the time) and he had a ready buyer.......Oh those were the DAZE!!!!..
The equivalent VW Combi Camper @ the time was 50% More POUNDS i.e $$$$'s
We were no HIPPIES but smooth suave EuroCanuck Campers
dining on Baguettes Brandy and Pate and Vino stopping "rough" many a night...still have a "diary" first I ever penned somewhere in the Archives.....and some pics too..........
