The weight of a camper van typically ranges from 2,500 to 8,000 pounds (1,134 to 3,628 kg), depending on its size, construction, and amenities. Smaller, more compact models weigh less, while larger, fully-equipped ones can be heavier. It's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact weight of a specific camper van model. Additionally, factors such as cargo and water can add to the overall weight.
What is the oil pressure on a vw t5 diesel transporter?

What is the points gap on a 350 Chevy?
When set properly, the gap would probably be about .018". The correct way to set the points would be to hook up a dwell meter and adjust the points for 30 degrees dwell.
Can you tow a VW camper with a dolly?
For short distances it's okay; just put it in neutral. If I was going across country with a Bus on a dolly I'd disconnect the CV axles to protect the transmission.
Where do you find key codes on 1977 VW bus?
It should be on the shaft of the sliding door handle (the shaft that goes through the door). Remove the plastic cover on the inside and there will be a single philips head screw to remove; do this and the shaft should come out. The code will be stamped on it.
What position do you put the heater controls to turn on the heat in a 1977 vw bus?
I think this is a little bit of a trick question. Let me explain: The heating in an air cooled bus relies on heat exchangers around the exhausts warming air which is then forced down pipes under the vehicle and into the ducts at the front, and at the rear. If you set the heating controls so you can feel air coming out of the ducts, you are probably set correctly. Unfortunately they are notoriously poor and generally don't get any heat to the front. On mine, I replaced the heat exchangers, I checked all pipes were sealed, but still in winter I barely had enough heat to clear the window. I travelled down through Belgium to the South of Germany one year, and it was so cold the screen wash froze, and I had to use hot tea on the windscreen every couple of miles to be able to see where I was going!
So, check the system out, and perhaps invest in an Eberspacher heater - that will make winter travel tolerable.
Where can you get your t25 campervan resprayed?
Any body shop that paints vans can do it. If you're trying to be completely authentic to the manufacturer's intent, Volkswagen painted your car with Spies Hecker paint, which is still made. If you want an authentic color, go to http://www.glasurit.com, click on "classic colors," tell it you have a Volkswagen, leave everything else set to "All" and click Search. All the colors Volkswagen used, and the years they were used, will appear.
What is the correct feeler gauge size to use when setting valve gap on aircooled 1600 vw?
You need two gauges: a .006" "go" gauge and a .008" "no go" gauge. When the valve is adjusted correctly, the .006 will go in and the .008 will not.
What year is vw engine number AS41?
the AS engine could be from a number of years I'm afraid- it's a 1600 from August 1973 to the end of production- 1979 i think.
AnswerAS41 isn't an engine number. It's the magnesium alloy your engine case was cast from. Volkswagen changed to the improved AS21 alloy in 1975--it was introduced when VW put fuel injection on the Bug engine. So...if you've got an AS41 case, it could have come out of just about any year car.CHECK COIL LEAD FOR CONTINUITY The lead from the coil to the distributor has broken ,probably right at the coil end and the resultant arcing has gradually burned off the interior wire so that the spark to the distributor has to jump a longer and longer initial distance which then results in a hard start problem. Cut off the end boot, disassemble ,strip to expose new cable, BEND BACK ALONG CABLE; Dielectric,reassemble the connector and end boot.Its that easy! the rest below are unlikely solutions to a very simple problem. NO COST SOLUTION
Answerit sounds like your fuel cut off switch is not working right this also happenend to my car the question is where to find that switch they are usaully located inthe trunk of the car if you pull back the carpeting above the wheel wells you can locate them it well have a nice button on it that says reset some when putting things in the truck or move stuff around this switch gets bumped they usually wont tell you this because they like to replace the parts and charge a couple hundred dollars but this switch can get gummed up and shut on and off when cold car runs fine then when hot runs sluggish to stopping then will not restart until car has sat for awhile i replaced this switch and have not had problem since 5yrs ago or leads to right direction AnswerIf your fuel cut off switch is not the problem, then you will need to first check your plugs for proper wear, and spark. You will also need to have a quiet environment, turn your ignition on and listen for the fuel pump. My 93 Topaz GS I-4 has this problem (fuel pump not kicking in when the ignition is turned on). You could also have a clogged fuel filter (located on the passenger side fender under the hood), if the filter is clogged, it will restrict the fuel flow. Once the engine is turned off, the debris will gather in the filter element preventing proper fuel flow. Once the car has sat for a while, the debris falls to the bottom of the filter allowing fuel to pass. If the above does not fix the problem, then you may have a bad ignition control module (located on the side of the distributor). $85-$100 will get you an ignition control module, About $100 will get you a fuel pump, about $10 will get you a fuel filter, and about $5 will get you spark plugs. AnswerBe sure to check if you are burning fluids, if so than that is the same problem my 94 topaz has, it gets severe hydrolock when it sits for more than a day without being driven, the (incompressible) fluids collect in the cylinder and have to be burned out before the car is ok. Of course it is difficult to start the car with these fluids in the cylinders. AnswerIt might also be your starter which might not be running at full speed. This happened in my 92 Topaz and in a friend of mine with a 93 Topaz. Likely, if you bought the car used, the starter was probably not replaced recently. After wear and tear, they start to slow down to the point where it does not spin fast enough to start the car. I believe this to be an electrical problem within the stock starters. If this is the case, when you turn the key...it starts when it feels like it and you will hear ONE click if it does not. After a while, it won't start at all. This problem is easily cured, just remove the starter(right under the oil filter in the front) and have it rebuilt at a local auto electrical repair shop. Depending on where you go, expect it to cost between $60-$100 for the rebuild. This is just a thought if it applies to you.How do you remove the dashboard of a 71 vw bus?
There are four screws holding in the speedomoter and other gauges' faceplate. Remove them after disconnecting the gauges. Pop off the cassette player's knobs, and remove the faceplate of the radio. The plastic heater control levers pull off. Pull them gently. Next, look under the dash. There are several screws and a bolt to remove. Once removed, unscrew the screws by the windshield, and then the screws right next to the door. It should pull right off.

How many miles per gallon for a vw camper van?
The average mpg of a vw camper van is 18 - 20 mpg
Older campers had smaller engines, where slower, but got better gas mileage.
A Vanagon camper van (1984-1991) got around 18-20mpg. The 1980-1983 Vanagons did worse, but the 1968-1979 baywindow buses did better. the early baywindows (1968-1971) and splitties (1967 and earlier) could get 24 mpg on the highway.
