This is a straight forward and compact summary of the camper and its evolution but contains a surprising amount of detail for book only 6 inches square. The book includes the standard chronology starting with the inevitable picture of Hitler looking at a model of a Beetle and continues on with the old factory shots you see in all the camper books. There are well illustrated chapters on each model and key variants going up to the T5. There are also chapters on all the main camper conversions and a final section on shows and rallies. There is a short chapter on camper/surfer culture but it is very thin. You get the impression the authors think this a frivolous distraction from serious study of camper vans so don’t buy this book if you want to see lots flower power paint jobs. Overall, a good mini-reference guide the VW van. If you find the text a little dry just look at the pictures.
Excellent. My 10 year old can now decide which Camper he is going to save up for!
This is a great little book of the history of the camper.
good quality and a good price wether for your own vw collection,
or for a gift..
This is a little book of trivia about VW campervans. You either love them or you don’t. I do.
Yes, I know, I should get out more.
