VW Camper - The Inside Story - A Guide to VW Camping Conversions and Interiors 1951-2012 (Third Edition)

Using archive and period brochure images, and photographs of original-condition models still surviving to illustrate the detailed text, this book documents the various specifications, layouts, fitments and optional equipment of over forty different conversion companies, from well-known names like Devon and Westfalia, to lesser-known or unusual models such as Slumberwagen and Arcomobil.

Since publication of the first edition in 2005, followed by a revised, expanded edition in 2012, "VW Camper - The Inside Story" has been acclaimed by enthusiasts and lovers of the VW Camper, and has become a definitive guide to the many different camping conversions built on the VW Transporter and Microbus.
This revised and expanded third edition updates the story across six generations of the VW Bus and includes additional information and pictures, including more conversions, as well new information about the very early years and the latest models.

The VW Camper Story

Once the British had helped perfect a way to raise the roof, the Volkswagen Camper became a worldwide phenomenon - the mobile home for everyone from student adventurers to gung-ho grandparents. Volkswagen vans have been front (originally rear) engined and water (originally air) cooled now for over 20 years, yet the spirit of the Camper is as unbowed as ever.
Here, award-winning writer Giles Chapman tells the whole, amazing story.

Volkswagen Camper : 40 Years of Freedom - An A-Z of Popular Camper Conversions

VW Buses command a massive following - with Campers being the most popular of all. Complementing the author's successful volume covering the first three generations of Volkswagen's legendary Transporter, this book delves exclusively into the spin-off conversions based on the VW Panelvan, Kombi and Microbus that became known simply as VW Campers.

From the original Westfalia Camping Box to the pioneering Pitt Moto-Caravan and Britain's extremely popular Devon and Danbury models, the book also covers everything from the weird to the genuinely wonderful, including models produced exclusively for the US market.

Making extensive use of original promotional material - ranging from lavish photography to quaint but charming home-spun images - here is a complete record, including layouts for the restorer, of older models and those interested in the luxury associated with the third generation Wedge.

With a lively and entertaining text covering all aspects of the VW Camper story, this is both a unique reference book and a coffee-table extravaganza to be enjoyed over and over again.
Packed with original marketing images, including unusual, discontinued models this book will fascinate any VW fanatic.

Vom T2 zum Camper VW - Bus-Umbau leicht gemacht

Camper auf VW-Bus-Basis - namentlich auf Klassikern vom Schlage des T2 - sind Legende. Aber nicht jeder hat das Geld, sich einen schon als Wohnmobil gebauten Bully-Oldie zu kaufen. Warum also nicht einen normalen Transporter umbauen, einfach, günstig und praktisch, zulassungsfähig und vor allem mit ungefährdetem Oldtimer-Status inklusive H-Kennzeichen?
VW-Bus-Spezialist und Autor Ralf Wenzlau zeigt am Beispiel eines ehemaligen Behörden-Bullys, wie sich einfache Projekte ohne allzuviele Spezialteile für jedermann - auch für Hobby-Schrauber mit nur wenig Projekterfahrung - realisieren lassen.

Anhand unzähliger Fotos und leicht verständlicher Beschreibungen werden die wichtigsten Umbauarbeiten beschrieben:
- Wie wird eine zuverlässige Stromversorgung installiert
- und wie sehen die dazugehörigen Schaltpläne aus?
- Wie baue ich leichte und stabile Einbaumöbel?
- Wie erhalte ich die historische Fahrzeugsubstanz?
- Was muss ich bei den Arbeiten hinsichtlich der Hauptuntersuchung beachten?
- u.v.m.

Ergänzt wird dieses praktische Schrauberhandbuch durch zahlreiche Tipps und Tricks, die im Umgang mit einem 40 Jahre alten VW-Transporter hilfreich sein können. Alle vorgestellten Arbeiten lassen sich leicht auf ähnliche Camper-Umbau-Projekte übertragen.
