There are several different versions of Vanagons with side windows, but this one is unlike any other I’ve seen before. This VW T25 high top camper has a very slim side window. Whoever did the customization on this van did a great job. In addition to the slick side window, the rear body kit that goes right into the high top looks excellent!
Don’t you just love the side window hack? We have seen this hack before, but this is the largest window I have seen so far. Click through to see this syncro in action.
These side window hack Vanagons sure are popular across the pond. I had never seen one, but all of a sudden I’m finding them all over the place. This looks like an early 1980’s camper with a very colorful paint job. It was spotted in Scotland. The large side window is on both sides of the van, including in the sliding door.

This adventure van was used to travel across the world. The couple who owns this van apparently traveled across Africa, the US, and Canada. Seen here in Zion National Park, this heavily customized Vanagon Syncro is a dream for Vanagon enthusiasts. The most noticeable hack is obvious the large side window in the sliding door. We have seen this side window hack before, but never on the door.
This Vanagon appears to have some kind of round vent at the rear of the van. With its high top, custom roof racks, rear hatch racks and bumpers, this Syncro is ready for anything you can throw at it. I wish we could see some interior pics. Click through to see a large world map mural on the other side of the van.

This van sure has a lot of windows. We have seen similar vans before, but this one looks unique. In addition to the many side windows, the high top has a large front window as well. The van has a small bullbar on the front bumper and a siren or speaker on the root. She looks like a nice ride although she could use some updated wheels.
One of the best things you can do to your Vanagon is install GoWesty’s Auxiliary Battery Kit. Once you have that done, you might consider this battery hack we first got from Ken at Van Again. He put 3 motor scooter batteries in parallel to get more amp hours out of the setup. We followed his lead and it works great. He used 3 UB12220 batteries to get a total of 66ah. We had to settle for 3 Power Sonic 21ah batteries to get a total of 63ah because nobody would ship the UB12220 batteries to Honolulu, but we are totally happy with the setup.

This early 1980’s Vanagon has a custom side window that looks like a sun roof mounted on the side of the van. It appears that the side window can be popped opened. If you look closely, it appears to have the same hinges and handle as a sun roof. It is possible that this is just a window I haven’t seen before, but it sure is small.
