Wartburg 353 Tourist & Caravan V1.0

Bring some vintage touring charm to Farming Simulator 25 with the classic Wartburg 353 Tourist and its matching functional caravan.
This project began as a permitted conversion of the original FS22 mod created by honved4. The FS25 version became a joint effort between Just Joe and SecondChanceGaming3709, combining Just Joe’s initial conversion and custom feature development with extensive repair, stabilization, testing, and final release work by SecondChanceGaming3709.

New and Rusted Conditions
The store includes two selectable condition options: New Rusted
The Rusted condition does not lock the Wartburg or caravan to one color. You can select your preferred main paint color while the custom rust and weathering remain visible over it.
The Rusted condition also adds matching wear to the camper body, camper door, awning hardware, chair frame, step, and Wartburg hubcaps.
The New condition supports dynamic dirt and wear so the camper materials and hubcaps become dirty naturally during gameplay.
The following colors can be customized separately:
Wartburg and caravan main paint Wartburg seats Camper awning and chair fabric Camper mattresses
All three camper mattresses change together.
The caravan includes a usable sleeping trigger, allowing it to function as a mobile camping setup without registering itself as or replacing your permanent farmhouse.
The camper door is independent from the fold-out system. Deploying the awning and chair will no longer automatically open the door.
The door can be opened and closed separately using the Interactive Control point located at the outside door handle. Its position can also be saved between sessions.
Select the caravan using G Press X to unfold or fold the camper awning and chair Use the Interactive Control point at the outside door handle to open or close the camper door Use the sleeping interaction beside the camper when you are ready to sleep
Interactive Control is required for the independent camper-door controls.
Make sure Interactive Control is installed and enabled when loading your save.

After the converted package was handed over, it still contained significant errors, invalid references, and release-blocking problems. SecondChanceGaming3709 completed the repair, stabilization, and final release work, including:
Adding the functional camper sleeping trigger Creating and connecting the sleeping marker and sleeping camera Positioning the sleeping interaction so it could be reached without interfering with the camper door Diagnosing invalid child-node and i3d references Repairing broken node index paths Correcting mismatched animation, trigger, camera, marker, and Interactive Control references Repairing XML structure and configuration errors Fixing Lua errors and camper-related crashes Repairing the awning and chair deployment behavior Correcting missing, invalid, and mismatched texture paths Updating the XML and i3d files to use the corrected DDS textures Removing unused working files from the release package Completing final in-game testing and log verification Cleaning, validating, and packaging the public release
This release would not have been possible without honved4’s original mod and permission, Just Joe’s FS25 conversion and custom feature work, and the extensive repair and release work completed by SecondChanceGaming3709.
