The new Danbury Rio - "Keeping the Legend Alive!"

The new world famous Volkswagen Type 2 is manufactured by VW Brazil and is powered by a 13900cc fuel injected, water-cooled cooled engine. This is fitted with electronic ignition and a catalytic converter exhaust system. The result of this modern technology is that your engine will always run beautifully no matter the weather conditions. Front servo assisted disc brakes and rear drum brakes are now also standard.

The Danbury "Rio" conversion includes:-

Full insulation to wall and floor cavities. Full length kitchen unit furniture on near side enabling you to walk through to the rear of the vehicle between the front seats. The kitchen unit incorporates :- sealed and vented single cylinder dedicated gas locker, self lighting stainless steel hob and grill with matching stainless steel sink and electric pumped cold water from a removable on-board container. Removable 12 volt electric cool box ( a fitted optional 40 Litre chest fridge which can also be used as a deep freeze, is also available). Waste is collected via an external remote socket. Removable free-standing centre mounted table with detachable leg. Rear metal framed rock and roll rear seat that cleverly converts to a flat ample double bed in one simple operation, complete with two lap style rear seat belts. Lighting via two florescent strip lights mounted on the near side and off side. Plus chrome swivel ball reading lights mounted at the rear. A rear near side mounted wardrobe with ample hanging space. The optional elevating roof gives an internal roof height of 2000 mm (roof raised) and can accommodate two people in the optional double roof bed. (suggested maximum payload 80kg). The roof canvas is 100% fully water proof and there is a clear plastic roof mounted wind-up sky light for extra ventilation. Fitted as standard is an independent blown air petrol driven heating system which provides ample warmth when motoring (a new experience for owners of the old Type 2 camper!) and is also a camping heater when stationery. Another welcome addition is the new Golf style front seats which offer unsurpassed comfort on long trips (again a new experience for owners of the old Type 2 !) Experience the true nostalgia of camping holidays in a classic "Rio" whilst having a vehicle that is truly practical and a pleasure to own and drive.
