That is a nice looking van. I rarely see a VW van in the USA, often times I see the ancient ones with air cooled motors.

I have some special batterychargers as I can have connected
for months. They are electronic controlled and
just give the batterys a pulse when it need some power.
You can see them at the walls back of the SL and at the
right side of the SLC.

You can read about the battery chargers here.

Jocke, I notice all the "burn" marks coming from the electrical wiring midway up on the wall. That common for 220v or each time you burn out a socket you just move to the next one?

It´s a smoking hot battery charger.

Ahhh yes... a TDI We here (at least some of us) in the US long for the TDI models not available here. We have to settle with the Sprinter when it comes to diesel vans. I guess the Toureg may qualify in some ways. Many models like the Skoda, Polo, Caddy, Multivan, etc. are distributed worldwide except... for the US. The market is limited, pollution standards unique and modern diesel potential misunderstood for passenger cars here in the US. All these have prevented diesel technology from penetrating the US market more deeply. Nice TDI Caddy...
