This looks promising. I hope these photos post. We had a meeting today, more splits than bays and only one other early bay. We were lucky with the weather.

It only came with the one table from new. The bed is a bit tricky. The 2 single seat backs slide up and out of the seats. They then lay across between the bench seat and the base of the single seats. The table then fits in between to fill the gap. It can move around a bit if the van starts a...

I know how Sean feels, Im 6'3". The badge on the back of your van would have said "Devon Conversions". Your van must be the other Sunlander. I Emailed David Eccles last week and at that time mine was only the third one he had heard of.The blue one is owned by Carl and Nicki Witham but I havnt...

I have that artical. It was winter 04 Issue 17. I have read through and he doesnt mention numbers. 2000 seems quite high. That would mean the factory turning out nearly 40 Sunlanders a week as well as the more popular Moonraker. Did they have the space for 150 or so vans a week?

I will have to buy David Eccles book " VW Camper Inside Story" and look it up . Thanks.

I bought the van just over a year ago. The old guy who had it bought it new and kept it in a garage all its life with a cover over it. He only took it out for family holidays in France during the 70s and 80s. He then cleaned it and put it back in the garage until the next holiday. I heard about...

Does any body out there have any idea how many campers Devon were turning out in 1970/1971. How big was their factory ? I have a Sunlander, you might have seen it in the Gallery,. They only made them in 71 and the most popular model was the Moonraker that year so there cant be many Sunlanders...
