VW Bay Window Campervans For Sale
VW Bay Window Campervans For Sale 1968 – 1979 Following the huge success of its early vans VW introduced its type 2 or Bay Window van in August 1967. Its significant change was its one piece curved windscreen which was quickly nicknamed a bay window for obvious reasons. It was slightly larger and quickly established itself as a platform for campervan interiors of much better quality and design. Elevating roofs although introduced in the early 1960’s became much more fashionable. More creative designs with pull out beds attracted a larger audience as campervans were no longer seen as “roughing it”. The need for greater space led to developments in raised rooftops and new names came to the market place such as Viking, Holdsworth and Sheldon. Cost and fashion led to the traditional wood interiors to be replaced by melamine and laminates. New gaudy or should I say trendy colours were introduced. A greater demand led to mass production from commercial companies whose profit margins led to a reduction in quality of finish for some models.

VW Split Screen
1957 -1967 Saw the dawn of the classic VW campervan with the introduction of the split screen van. By far the most prolific developer of interiors for this model was Westfalia. The early theme was of a camping box. Self contained units which could be removed and stored whilst the vehicle was used as a van but re instated when the need to use it as a camper was met.This early concept soon led to the development of the camper “proper” ie an interior that was designed and fitted intending to be permanent. Westfalia quickly set the standard that other sought to follow.
The UK was slightly behind Germany in its desire to convert the VW transporter or bus. It was not until 1960 that proper commercial conversion took place in the UK by Peter Pitt. However the brand name to dominate the early conversions was the “Devon”. Other versions appeared and Westfalia, Danbury, Devon and Dormobile became household name.

VW T25
1980 – 1990 Saw the introduction of the T3 but more frequently referred to as the T25. This third generation VW was a complete change in terms of luxury and refinement. Its customer base now had greater leisure time and higher incomes and required a standard of luxury never seen before in a VW Campervan. As well as the marked improvement in its drive and performance interior fitments now included gas or electric fridges, mains hook-ups for camp sites, swivelling seats for driver nad passenger and levels of trim more akin to luxury caravans than the tradition van converted to a camper for the weekend.

VW T4
1990 – 2002 saw the introduction of the T4 version. The level of luxury and fitments stepped up another gear but so did the price. Additions included microwave ovens, dvd, satellite navigation, ovens, showers, and much much more. To many VW enthusiasts this was a stage too far and left the tradition of a camper far behind and became something completely different. This had led to a shift in customer base away from the family and practicality of outdoor living to a completely different customer base. This had led to the appeal of older VW Campers increasing and the cult image to get nothing but stronger with each new development of the VW platform.
