Volkswagen Camper Van tent – a very different Transporter

Volkswagen Camper Van tent – a very different Transporter

So, you fancy the great outdoors, and love the idea of being out in the open with a VW Type 2 Transporter, but can’t lay your hands on an example? Well, here’s a cheaper, and more accomodating option, a fold away you can roll up to the ground with in your Range Rover Sport. Or Touareg.

It’s a 1:1 scale tent of the Transporter, in this case the T1 version of the model from 1965, called the VW Camper Van tent. Officially licensed by Volkswagen, it offers accomodation for four adults, in two zip-separated double size ‘rooms,’ so one can, ahem, do whatever it is one would like to do in relative privacy (don’t think there’s too much sound insulation though).

Features include heavy-duty waterproofing on the outer fabric shell (3,000 mm top, 1,000 mm side rating) for protection against the elements, and blue, yellow and red as colour options. All you’ll need to complete the experience is to bring along accompanying music, clothes and other paraphernalia from the era.

      Firebox has it listed for 300 pounds Sterling, which is just under RM1.5k. Not exactly low rent.

    This is nice, but too huge for normal camp sites in Malaysia. Ok for beach sites, i guess.

    Too bad we don’t have ‘safe’ camp sites like those caravan parks overseas. Check into cheap hotel better alt here.
