New to T25s - 1989 Devon Eurovette - Info required

Post by DanTheDoc »

Hi,

We are hopefully putting a deposit down on this T25 Devon Eurovette this afternoon subject to a test drive:

Image

It's a 1989 automatic Devon conversion with only 67000 miles covered. Looking forward to this being in the family and getting out and enjoying it. It seems to be a really clean bus but is quite dated and the colour is a bit hmmm.... There will be stuff done to it over time but only as and when the funds allow. First things are a full service and check over, rear 3-point seatbelts, a cab bunk, and generally making it ok for my family to use. Then comes the fiddling.

Does anybody know anything about the Devon Eurovette conversion or can anyone point me in the right direction to find out any info? I've tried searching quite a lot but can only really find one old sales brochure (which has confirmed it's not made up!) but I cannot seem to find anything else so any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

Hello, and welcome to club 80-90 also known as the mad house.

Have a look in our wiki section (button at top of page) for info on what to look for when buying a T25 / T3. It may save you a lot of tears later. If you go ahead with the purchase, there will be a lot of info on how to do various jobs, like rear 3 point seatbelts, re-painting (rustoleum method) and servicing. Good luck and happy camping!

Profile updated with location, will add avatar and sig asap.

Put a deposit on the van, picking it up Sat 28th after they've done a habitability test to ensure it's fully safe to use (buying from a caravan and motorhome sales place).

Looking forward to picking it up!

Thanks for finding that leaflet, you must be better at Google than me!! I seriously cannot find anything.

The interior is pretty much the same, here are some photos:

You are not alone in the Eurovette Camp! I recently purchased my first camper which seems to be pretty identical to your camper (including the low mileage!). Your upholstery look sin better nick than mine though.

Im also trying to find some more info on my camepr, particularly a Devon Conversion owner/operating manual?

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks in advance
