One of the favorite themes of Vanagon owners is the famous Scooby Doo Mystery Machine. We’ve seen a lot of Mystery Machines, and a several food trucks, but this is the first high top Mystery Machine themed food truck we’ve seen. Click through to see more of this gorgeous van. Whoever owns this van has taken the first class route with special attention to details.
This is a German food truck of some kind. I’m not exactly sure what they sold here, but it seems to be part bakery, part food. I love these custom Vanagon builds. It doesn’t really matter what the specific use is, people are pretty creative when custom building a Vanagon. Click through for more pics.
We have seen several Vanagon food trucks around the world. From lunch wagons to mobile cafes, the Vanagon has been adapted to fit a variety of needs. This conversion is really extensive. The Volkswaffle is a first class Vanagon conversion that has a ton of equipment on board. I wish I knew who created this bad boy, but we will just have to admire it from the pictures.
Food Trucks and lunch wagons are hot right now and the Vanagon is not to be left out. The Borco-Höhns Verkaufswagen has not hit the states, but there are several variations overseas. Le Cabu is a mobile cafe in Germany, and I wish he could pull up in my neighborhood.
Le Cabu has a surfboard on top as the signage, and it looks like he has a solar panel above the cab to recharge his batteries. Inside, he has everything you need to run your cafe. More images after the jump.
Don’t you just love the stories we see of people who just jump in a Vanagon and go? Here is another adventurous Vanagon owner. A guy named Dave has a Vanagon and a Blog. He started traveling towards Mexico with no idea where he would end up. He has some fantastic photos on his blog, but of course, we’re more interested in his ride. You can see one of his camp sites above, but click through to check out the inside of his Vanagon.
The Caffeine Machine is another Vanagon food truck. This time the Vanagon has been converted into a mobile coffee shop. She is currently for sale on eBay for $15,000.
Some people just take hacking the Vanagon to the extreme. Check out this monster Syncro expedition that is currently up for sale at the Samba. It’s a gorgeous load of Vanagon insanity. It comes with a high top and so many custom options it’s impossible to list them all. How much will it set you back? Oh, only $48,000. Click through to see the interior, plus the full list of features.
Check out this VW conversion I spotted on CampervanLife. They took a Vanagon and turned it into a food truck trailer. They call it the Camper Cafe and it looks great. I wonder what they pull it with. This van was in pretty bad shape before they restored it, but they sure did a nice job. Click through for another pic and a link to see the restoration photos.
What do you do when you want to re-heat your food while on the road? You install a microwave oven in your Vanagon, of course. Tom Boldway installed a 700 watt microwave in his van after his air conditioning stopped working. He decided to use the space above his bed for the microwave. If you don’t need air conditioning this works great. Get another pic and instructions after the jump.
