I own a 2001 VW Eurovan camper. It has the Passat engine (6 cyl, 24
valve) and 16 " wheels. It tows like a dream
and gets near 20 mpg. They quit importing to the US in 2003 and now
are in high demand. I paid a little over
30k for mine. A year later for the exact same vehicle the price went
to 40k and now people are paying
up to 50k for a low mileage version of the 2001-2003 models.

It also doubles as a good around town vehicle (unlike most RVs) It
seats six and drives and parks like any
midsize car.


Or you could just buy a new Dodge Caravan now for a *lot* less money
that does everything you describe above except maybe for the "camper"
part. Don't worry, VW plans to start selling minivans again. They
will be based on the next generation Chrysler minivans. Chrysler will
be building them for VW.
