If you are interested in VW campers, but also confused about the different models, here's a quick round.
Type 2 split screen from 1950 to 1967
This was the first VW van camp, which was adapted from the bus VW (known as Samba) - which was adapted from the panel van VW. The campers were fitted by Westfalia, a chassis company worked with VW for many years. There were a huge number of configurations of furniture and other changes too. The campers had the same air-cooled engines, such as truck panels and 6-volt electrics.
Type 2 Bay Window Camper 1967-1980
The tallest and biggest bay window VW van camper had 12-volt electric, a sliding side door and bigger engine. He even had a friendly, round shape, but with better visibility and more space. Westphalia has continued to make modifications, and many other companies such as Devon, Danbury, Canterbury and Dormobile joined the market too.There are also a VW camper vans converted by small firms and also DIY conversions. Most were conversions from buses, but some companies (and amateur) made the switch from trucks. Versions of the bay window VW was still in production in Mexico and Brazil long after the VW had stopped production at Wolfsburg. The bay window campers often known as Kombi - mainly in Australia and South Africa, and, confusingly California was a VW Camper Van conversion is not from California
Enter the 25 VW - the Vanagon 1980-1991
The VW T25 was higher again and provide a significant number of seats. The shape is more blocky, with very square styling 80. He was known as the Vanagon in the U.S. and is now often referred to as the VW t3.
Type 4 1991-2003
This is known as the Eurovan in the U.S., with versions from Westfalia camper by Winnebago. This big difference is when the engine - in front! It has a strong hood.
