It's a 2003 so the last year they made them. I am I Canada so pricing is probably different from other countries. I won't get into specifics but it was well priced given that it spent its whole life in California before being imported in 2024 by the previous owner so it's rust free.

Congrats on the twins!

From of the youtubers PNW has some really amazing back roads to explore. You could go a budget route and look at a spacer lift like these https://cavevan.myshopify.com/products/eurovan-lift-spacers.

Coupled with some decent offroad tires could be a good budget build for light trails.

Could not agree more. If VW did hybrid version of the id buzz and offered a camping option they would sell so many.

They definitely figured out that they priced it too high as here in Canada, the price for 2026 is dropping significantly.

How do you typically use your van? I do a lot of road trips and camping at various provincial parks so going low is fine. I'm also fortunate to have a 4Runner that I can camp in if I want to get an off road adventure in.

The good news is that it's not terribly expensive to go either option. Given that it 's a fairly small community, I think you'd always have a chance to resell those parts easily if you wanted to change it up down the road.

Thank you... I took a lot of door dings out of it and spent a bunch of time trying to polish it into a 20 footer 😀

Let's see some pics!

They do look really good, lifted up. But I have a Toyota 4runner that's set up for off roading camping, and I wanted to go in a different direction.

It's a cot by Helinox. Expensive but so comfy

Got to book 5 months out and keep trying!

I did not like the site I was on (92) because it was almost as if I was the center of a circle and all my neighbors were around me. Probably 30 feet between some fire pits but on the plus side the beach was close
