There is space inside for a slide-out compost toilet but I never liked driving around with my waste in the van!
This van is like nothing you will see again for its age, in this condition, with this conversion by VW. I can only find one other one in running condition in the entire country and its in less than desirable condition to say the least. With this van you have the comfort of driving something short and small but with the option to stand up inside, or not. The panoramic view when the pop top is up is pretty spectacular. Feel the breeze in the comfort of the shade. I'd say the standing room is about 6ft 3 inches.
The van has been looked over mechanically and no major issues have been found. In fact I was told by the Dodge mechanic that I have the best looking best condition first generation dodge he's ever seen.
The carburetor has recently serviced, brakes checked, and a new battery installed. Never worry about waking up to a dead battery because the 200amp hour Renogy deep cycle battery charges while you drive.
The van comes with pop out windows that can be installed on the back windows of the van. I have not had time to install them. With purchase also comes the outdoor shower attachment and mattress. As well as as service documents I have. The van did receive some cosmetic damage on the drivers side panel by the vent. I had it repaired however there is a crack in the paint. I have circled it for you in a picture in the dropbox album in the link provided. Minimal.

The van runs incredibly strong, cruises well at high speed, stops, and starts like it should. Santiago is a joy to drive and gets gawks wherever she goes. The cedar interior and pop top addition is truly gorgeous. Best of luck on your bid!

In regards to the paint crack on the drivers side panel:
The van received body damage on this drivers side panel in July of 2020. The damage was repaired. During the course of the repair body filler was used to fill in body lines where the tan paint meets the white paint. I took the van in to two shops to have this paint crack looked at. I was told that the excessive heat wave here (110 degrees plus) caused the body panel to expand/move causing the paint to crack. It is roughly  I was told that the method to repair would be to sand this area, add a layer of body filler, and then repaint.
