insulation not there at all??

[Steph3910]

I purchased a motorhome this year it was made from a VW transporter van. It was sold as a camper but i have found it has no insulation and cannot be slept in. The temperature inside is like an oven and it got up to 49 c. The dealers response is tough and try opening a window. I have had it 3 months I had a Maxx Air vent fitted to try to resolve the situation but this hasn't helped and the installer said there is no insulation in the van. What can i do?

VW California 'campervans' don't have any insulation. As this is the industry leader, I don't think you will have a claim against your dealer.
I would trade it in or sell it to buy a compact motorhome or insulated campervan.

My 1989 Westfalia California was produced for the warmer climes of the American market, hence it's name.

It was produced with little insulation but, it's relatively easy to do with either parts from the model that was made for colder countries (who's name has gone from my brain ) or aftermarket products.

Cannot comment on newer models as they do not interest me, sorry!
