The article by camper enthusiast and attorney Steven Davidson is entitled “My Ride, 1991 VW Vanagon Syncro the perfect “getaways” vehicle” and it talks about our CHC Syncro Camper conversion.
The article gives a history of the Syncro and describes how much fun it is to go camping in this vehicle, especially with the CHC conversion and some additional items such as the Shady Boy awning.

Beth J. writes us:
I’m planning a 6-12 month road trip–two people, a dog, two bikes and backpacking equipment. We love the pop-top of the Eurovan, but don’t need all of the extras, and frankly don’t want to pay >$30K for a van.
We want a way to store our bikes and gear (preferably in the van), sleep in the van when we’re not camping, store our camping equipment. Any suggestions on a van to buy that can have a pop top added, and additional, simple gear inside to store our stuff?
Salim at CHC responded as follows:
Depending on where you are traveling a VW van may not be your best choice. It is hard to find good VW mechanics in the central and Northern part of the US. I would suggest you look into Fords or Chevy’s. They have more room, parts are less expensive and anyone can work on them (especially in a small town).
You can get them with beds, raised roofs or pop-tops, and some cabinets for storage. Or you can get a used vehicle and have a conversion done on it. Here are some websites to help your search:
I am sure you can find a van that will meet your budget. Good Luck and have fun!
