Essential VW Campervan Books - our top picks
Here are my personal favourites from the wide range of VW Camper titles. They cover the essentials from understanding the different models and configurations, to designing and restoring interiors, from sorting mechanical issues to restoration and ongoing maintenance.
VW Camper – the Inside Story is a really comprehensive guide to the models and seemingly endless interior conversions and configurations. Great for tracing history and background of models when you’re buying, or just admiring VW campers.
VW Campers an A-Z is a straightforward guide covering the model variants right through the first forty years of the type 2.
How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive is essential for air-cooled fans. It’s a step by step which goes back to the 60’s, so has a whiff of nostalgia and fun as well as being a mine of hands-on information.
The Haynes VW Transporter Guide is as thorough and clear maintenance and restoration guide as you would expect – good reference and well put together.
VW Camper Inspirational Interiors is a new book – with a wide selection of interiors from simple originals to the truly bizarre and some great ideas in-between. If you’re planning an interior project it’s ideal – and it oozes VW appeal if you just love campers.
Finally there’s Campervan Crazy – which is what it’s really about: travelling with your bus. It’s a tribute to the VW Camper lifestyle and all the great people who drive VW campers.
