I am trying to figure out what this old guy is. Know it's pre-67 but beyond that, no clue. We're going to sell it for parts.

I have been searching the web far and wide trying to figure out what kind of camper conversion I have inside my bus but I am not having any luck. Does anyone know?

02/27/08 Ed Hill Your bus is not a Riviera. My guess is that it either a Sundial or an EZ Camper. EZ Campers had a metal plate bolted to the right front "fender" just behind the wheel. I guess yours does not have one or you would not be asking about what kind of bus it is. The style of paneling and the copy of the basic Westy design are what make me think this is an EZ or Sundial. Riviera also copied the Westy but used a different kind of paneling and some very distinctive style points yours is missing. EH
06/26/07 mkrakowiak It looks like the conversion kit that was in my bus. My bus is an early 64 and was shipped to Spokane, WA. I believe that mine is possibly a Riviera or Camp CO. ( or something like that) I have heard that the Riviera VW dealership group used a variety of companies to do conversions for them. I was talking to someone at a show once and he mentioned to me that it really didn't matter what I had (since I've re-modeled my van myself) the only thing that matters is that it is you van and you're keeping it on the road and keeping it real.

Here is a 1967 Logo van I bought in Den Haag in June 1972 on a 3 month camping trip around Europe. Genco A/C contractor work van was like new with 6ok km on speedo. Some rust from Holland winters I paid $600 us for it and drove it with my bride to be all over Europe and Morroco. Shipped it back to SoCal. for $300. abd drove it for another 8 years till finished Grad school when I bought a 914 2.0, Sold the van for $1500. People used to pull me over with stories of seing this van all over the country and Europe. What they no doubt saw were other Genco logo work vans. A lot of people thought it was a logo for gay men which was a good laugh.. I did see one other Genco logo van with same paint scheme but it was a Baywindow van. Also years after selling it to a surfer dude I was driving through Palms Springs and loking down a side road saw the distinctive painted van crossing a street about a block away. I chased it down to find an old Dutch house painter who bought it as a work van and was just about to paint it all one color! Go figure what were the odds of catching it at that moment!

I have a 1974 VW bus that I bought new on Euro delivery. The bus has about 29,000 original owner miles. It lives in the garage of my familys ski house in Northern Italy. It is in great shape, everything original, and if I put in a new battery, it would start and run. It has US registry and is hard to insure in Europe, and I need the space thats in the garage. Im trying to figure out how much its worth vs. how much I could sell it for locally. Can you give me any kind of ballpark range of its value?

AIRS Rescue Trip AIRS Rescue Trip AIRS Rescue Trip AIRS Rescue Trip

AIRS is the Aircooled Interstate Rescue Squad, which is a list of vw people willing to help you in a vw emergency. The AIRS list can be found @ www.type2.com The following story is of our recent AIRS rescue of a girl from Pa and her '78 bus who blew the engine in Hays, Kansas on their way to Denver. So friday, we figure out that there isn't a snowflakes chance in hell of getting Tiffany's (girl from PA) bus fixed in the middle of kansas, so we arrange to tow it to Colorado if she'd pay our gas. She said no problem, so at 5am Saturday morning, we hit the road. After dragging our dolly behind the gas guzzeling V8 the 6+ hours to hays and calling Steve R about 10 times, we finally found the shop where the bus was @, but tiffany wasn't anywhere to be found. Called tiffany about 50 times, and if anyone called her, you know that she has about a 2 minute song on her voicemail that gets really annoying after calling it over and over, not to mention burns cell minutes while on roaming... I had talked to her at around 1pm the previous day, and she said they were in CO, but they were heading out to Hays as we spoke and would be there to help us load it up...etc. So we go talk to the mechanic who says they're in CO, I tell him what I just typed, and he said, oh, well here's this OTHER number I have for them. Call the other number, get Tiffany's friend, who tells me that they're still in BOULDER... Fun times. Figure out a plan to leave the bus @ busted bus in boulder and meet up with tiffany later. Pay tiffany's bill @ the mechanic to get it out, load up the bus, and by this time, Steve Reed comes rollin up in a beautiful Blue / White Acupulco Thing. BS'ed a while with Steve, rode in the thing up to wally world to buy (rent) some magnetic trailer lights, as we had forgotten ours. Thanks Steve for the ride in that beautiful VW! Hooked up the bus and made sure it was on the trailer as tight as could be, and said our goodbyes, as we had a long drive back to CO. All went well until about grinell, Ks, where if you remember my trip back from BBBB 2 years ago, is where my '79 blew up the engine... coincidence, I think not. We went over a particularly rough stretch of road, and the bus jerked to the right and all sorts of debris was flying off. We pulled over and found that the right rear tire on the bus had de-laminated. It was literally "throwing gators" and about 30 seconds away of a blow out. The place we pulled over just happened to be a mechanic's shop, and after rounding off the lugnuts that havent been removed in 20 years, we had to employ the services of the mechanic w/ impact wrench to loosten the lugnuts, not to mention the bottle jack he let us borrow because we had forgotten ours. Pulled the tire off and placed the "spare" tire on the drum. The spare looked original as it was a polyester sidewall bias ply with about 30 years worth of dry rot on it. Now the smart thing to do would have been to pull the tire off the front of the bus, which was up on the dolly, put the spare there, and take the front tire and put it on the back. Well I dont claim to be the smartest cookie in the world, plus the bus was parked uphill, and to unload it, change the tire, and load it back up would have been a gigantic PITA, we just did things the easy way. Well, that lasted about 60 miles, when the spare did the same thing as the first tire, and had the tread disintigrate. First, we thought we'd just roll the bus off the trailer and flip it around, putting the back on the dolly and tying the wheel off so it wouldnt move. Soggy spring plates and short trailer ramps laughed @ us on that one, so on to plan B... Fortunately we were in burlington, Co, a town of a little bit of size, and they had a Napa that was open. Remember that bottle Jack I had mentioned earlier? yeah, well we had to break down and buy another jack, roll the bus off the trailer, take the tire off the front and put it off the back, as was the previously mentioned "smart thing to do"... Took the hubcap off the front tire and whaddya know...the lugnuts WONT come off for love or money. After about an hour of hitting them with wd-40 and smacking them with a cold chisel, they finally broke loose, and I broke my spiffy hazet lug wrench that I got from Richard and Dawn @ Jerome last year... have to get me another one now... Changed out the front and rear right side tires, put the bus back off the trailer, chained it down, made sure things were good and tight, and off we went. All went smoothly until we stopped to get gas outside of Denver. Pulled into the gas station and watched the passenger side front tire roll off of the trailer and fall down infront of the dolly. This, remarkably, is the 2nd time that I've had a vw do that on the dolly when pulling into a gas station. We determined that the tire that had lost the tread was leaking air and gradually losing air pressure, causing the ratchet strap to become loose and allowing the tire to roll forward. (this is the part of the story where it came in handy that I'm 6'3" and a cornfed nebraska boy) Dad rolled the truck forward while I put the bus in gear, pulled the e brake, and literally lifted up on the passenger front corner of the bus. Got it back onto the trailer after giving myself a mild hernia, sinched it back down, and hit the road again. Pulled into busted bus' parking lot at around 10pm. Rolled the bus off the trailer, pushed it into a parking space, gave Tiffany, who had met us there the keys, said our goodbyes, and took off. Rolled into home around 11:30 after dealing with night construction traffic on I-25. Unhooked the trailer, went inside, took a shower and went to bed. Another roadtrip from hell. I'm begining to collect those...

Here's another Brazilian oddball. These were intended as taxis, hence the four separate doors for maximum access to the two rows of back seats. Note the door locks and handles on the rear doors are the same as on the front doors. The interior of this bus looks very original.

To coincide with my Easter bus trip from Johannesburg to the Cape, fellow splittie driver Paul Cochrane organised an informal get-together of split buses and their owners. A great day was had by all on Paul's farm near Stellenbosch. In all, eight splitties arrived for the day.
