250 Classic with 6.5L Diesel, like to get info

[tevake]

Thanks Guys for the kind words for my 345, always appreciated!

I'm very interested in mr Splitwindow's sweet 250 Diesel rig and vintage
""schwimmwagon". I did notice the accessories like the paddle and pivoting propellor drive unit, do you dare to drive it in the water?

Also your interesting trailers, the tilting single axel is for the old Timer?
And the neat back bedroom trailer is cool too.

Its curious to learn of the different license requirements,
Are the various areas OK with rigs and operators from other areas coming into their countries with their local licenses and different towing configurations?

Have you gone thru the Chunnel to England, when do you cross to the other side of the road.

Realy enjoying your posts!

Cheers Richard

Hi Richard...
It is different in germany with towing behind a car, truck, or RV..
For me is possible to tow up to 2000kg. I know a friend with an other 250,
hi has a license for 3000kg. But this I don't need. The trailer are 500kg and the VW
max 900kg. The single axel trailer is max 1800kg aloud.
If I go to England, I use the ferry,.... sorry, not the Schwimmwagen..
Next year I go there. There will be a big meeting for Amphibious vehicle.

You ask, I use the VW in the Water.?
I own the Schwimmwagen now for more than 20years, I take it to many meetings.
So in the Water I use it for hundreds of "Kilometer". I have it for use, not for display.

This year more times on different meetings, first our "Club-meeting"
at the River "Neckar"...
here some pics...

Meetingplace "Schloßhotel" ... but I use the 250


we all go in....


all in....




one other car on the meeting.. Mercedes G4... fantastic


Its me...


So you see, it works...
We have a lot of fun..
but allways together with friends.. you never know, those are all 70years old Cars..

I hope you enjoy the Pics...

All best..

Hello
Reading this topic, I understand better now why "split window". The origin comes from your passion VW oldtimer!

I only learned by reading you a production airstream was made to the EU.
Thanks for these informations.
I am French, and not finding my happiness in EU, I decided to buy my Mohos USA. I found thanks to the announcements forum.

It should come in December.
For France, I have to find one that has more than 30 years, in order to register it in collection vehicle. otherwise, I can not certify to.

Let me know when you make a new decidrez meeting of airstream in EU, I'll come with pleasure, my oldtimer also vw (KG January 56)
A chance to cross the roads.
