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.

I bought this as a present for my boyfriend, who is planning on buying and restoring a early 1970s VW bus soon. He absolutely loved this book. It has a wealth of information - and lots of great photos - about the interior of every type of bus made. This type of information is difficult to find (most information available is about the engine, body, etc). It has information about the interiors of both stock and custom buses, which is a great source of creative inspiration since he is planning to customize his own bus.

I also bought his this die cast model of a bus as part of the gift set:

I would definitely recommend getting both the book and the model for any VW bus fan, or anyone who is thinking about customizing their own bus.

I recently reviewed a book called "How to convert your VW Bus or Van to Camper". That book is garbage and completely devoid of information to help you actually do this.

THIS book however is a wealth of knowledge. It shows many different layouts from back in the very beginning to the end, all different sorts of conversions too. In my opinion it's more information for someone who would be trying to figure out how to convert their own van than the one supposedly written for that.

This is basically a picture history with good documentation on the campers available in Europe and the USA which were based on the Volkswagen Bus/Transporter. The author is very knowledgeable, the pictures are all documented with good information, and it's a beautiful book. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. I bought this probably a year ago or so and still pick it up and thumb through it from time to time, it's a nice book to have around.

THis book is a marvellous collection of conversions and interiors of VW campers. It is invaluable to someone who is considering refurbishing, or recreating the conversions.

Book arrived promptly and in like new condition. Nice photos of some interesting and unique British camper conversions, and a collection of VW camper advertising from the 60s forward. This book is currently on our coffee table, and I read through different chapters when I can.

I bought this book as a gift... When I received the box and opened it, everything looked like is was just thrown in... This books cover was all torn and wrinkled. I was very upset but kept the book because of the time. I tried to fix it best as I could. From now on please be careful how you put the books in a box, when sending other things with them.. My son really wanted this book and I had to give it to him this way...
