The damnedest things happen when you are on the road.  Two days ago, in
Albany Oregon, Phil Zimmerman and I were standing by our Westies just after
eating lunch.  A guy walks up and asks if we wanted to buy an '85 Dehler
Profi camper!  Actually, he asked if we knew anyone that might want to buy
it.  $4,900!!  We arranged to meet the next day to look at it, pictures
here.

Summing up, the odometer reads 81,000 but I doubt it.  The VIN is in the
picture of the door plate if anyone can run a Carfax.  Looks like a
1.9LWBX. with air (don't know if it works), Profi interior with two
reefers,
both apparently electric only.  Looks like a gasoline Eberspser (SP?) heater
has been removed but a propane cat heater is mounted on the wall in the
'living space'. Sink and water tank, couldn't figure out if there is a gray
water tank.  But, no stove.  There is a storage space under the bed for
something about the size of a Coleman two burner, and attachment points to
mount the stove outside tail-gate style with the back hatch up.  Body and
all the plastic trim in good shape, some sign of attempts to deal with
either leaks or rust where the top attaches but just a couple of
spots.  Interior
shows a lot of use and you would want to do some cleaning.  Drivers seat
needs some upholstery work. Lots of storage and dual battery setup.  Even
has a television (CRT w/DVD player) mounted in the front storage area.  Two
skylights, one in the middle, one over the front seats.

I have no interest in this at all, just doing the guy a favor by posting to
the lists.He has two other VW based campers.

If I were looking for a new rig right now, I'd grab it for myself.  Based on
what little I know of these but knowing how rare they are in the US, I think
this is worth more than he is asking.

DON'T CONTACT ME, I HAVE NO MORE INFO THAN I'VE POSTED HERE.
