MMM (Motorcaravan Motorhome Monthly), December 2007 - UK magazine

CAMPER CRAZY

In the forty years of its life, the Volkswagen Transporter has amassed a huge fan base, and 'Volkswagen Camper' is a book designed to delight the VW camper fan. It calls itself an A-Z of popular camper conversions, beginning with the iconic splitty, and progressing via the bay window to the wedge, with the T4 and T5 covered in a brief postscript. The companies and characters highlighted are: Westfalia, Peter Pitt, Devon, Martin Walter and the Dormobile, and Danbury. A further chapter, calling itself a selective directory, looks briefly at a wide range of VW-based campers, from the familiar (like Autohomes, Auto-Sleepers and Richard Holdsworth, to mention but a few), to the rather more exotic and unusual (Caraversions, E-Z Campers from the USA, and Moortown Motorised Caravans are examples). Basically, the book uses contemporary brochure and publicity photography, with modern text to explain the evolution of each marque. If you are one of the seemingly ever-growing band of VW fanatics out there, or a student of the classic camper van, then this book may well be worth a place in your Christmas stocking.

Product Description

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.

A very good primer 2 July 2009
Format:Paperback
As an enthusiast coming new to the world of VW campers this book provides a very good overview. To be critical however, the book relies perhaps too heavily on old adverts for it's imagery; I would have liked to see better illustrations and larger pictures that identify the various internal layouts available (or the various parts etc). The book is more of a coffee table format than an encyclopedia as such. Still the best camper book of those I have seen so far.

Great fun, plenty to reminisce about and a super buy if someone has just bought an older 'Kamper' and you can't think of a suitable present!!

V W Campers 22 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have just become the proud owner of a 1972 "T2 Bay" Devon Moonraker campervan and the book I bought from Amazon is a fantastic book describing all the campers from 1950 ~ 1990. It is almost a cult thing, but such an amazing and strong vehicle. The book is a must for any serious VW camper enthusiast.
