Shared Vanagon Dictionary

  • Camper model

    In Gerry’s preserved FAQ alignment article, “Camper model” refers to the heavier Vanagon Syncro camper configuration, with separate alignment values from lighter non-camper vehicles. A Gerry discussion on 15 October 2003 about the “official” Syncro alignment specs quotes the chart for 1986–1991 Syncro campers with dual batteries up front; a 1999 thread separately asks about an almost-empty 1986 Syncro. These historical sources show why the exact load and configuration matter, not a current alignment specification. Use service data for the specific vehicle.

  • Z-bed

    A foldable bed that came on many models of VW buses, allowing for additional sleeping space.

  • Camper refrigerator

    A refrigerator installed as part of a camper interior. The documented Vanagon Westfalia appliance supports gas and electric operation; exact power sources and operating requirements depend on the refrigerator model and its manual.

  • Westy

    A nickname for the Volkswagen Westfalia camper van

  • Sloped Rack

    Sloped roof rack version used on pre-1961 Westfalia models

  • Camper 12-volt battery

    The 12-volt battery supply used for camper electrical loads such as interior lighting, the water pump, and controls on the documented Vanagon Westfalia. Whether a particular vehicle has a separate auxiliary battery depends on its model and later modifications.

  • Shore-power inlet

    The exterior electrical inlet used to connect an equipped camper to campsite alternating-current power. Wiring, voltage, current rating, and supported appliances vary by market and model year.

  • Car cover

    Universal cover for all Vanagon models, including high roof and campers
