Book Reviews of VW Camper - The Inside Story: A Guide to VW Camping Conversions and Interiors 1951-2005

Book Review: Very informative
Summary: 5 Stars

Here in the US we see mostly Westfalia's and Riviera's, with some Sportsmobiles and Sundials etc....This book is amazing in the number of conversions covered. The european models going way way back to the 50's! You certainly learn about more conversion companies and see many different configurations.

Very, very cool book.

I highly recommend it if you are interested in these great busses.

Summary of VW Camper - The Inside Story: A Guide to VW Camping Conversions and Interiors 1951-2005

This book documents and celebrates the many different camping conversions built on the Volkswagen Transporter and Microbus base across five decades. Until the advent of the new T5 generation in 2004, Volkswagen never made a factory-fitted camper, preferring to approve conversions carried out by firms such as Westfalia, Devon, Dormobile, Sundial and Danbury. However, many other different companies offered conversions on the VW base and the models produced by over forty different converters are described and pictured here.
