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.

There’s normally lines of each type of model for people to admire and and you can chat to the owners, competitions are serious, there’s always car spares and related VW camper stuff for sale, plus entertainment and a lot of socialising. 

its where like-minded people meet up and swap stories, share problems, discuss ways of improving their VW camper vans, plans to go travelling, what project to start on next.

If you’re new to VW campers it’s a great way to get started. Going to an event will help find your way round the different models, work out the pros and cons of each one, think about what kind of campervan you might buy, what you want it for, where to find a god VW camper van and how much the different models and different condition campers go for.  People are always willing to help a newbie so you get enough informatiojn to get started.

We’ll be collating events lists to include them on this site as the season gets started, so come back soon.
