The Volkswagen Type 2 microbus, camper, Westfalia, kombi, or simply bus, is an iconic passenger carrier. Made from 1979 right up until 2002, its friendly face and distinctive air-cooled engine note make it instantly recognizable. Widely considered as a Beetle for those with more people to carry, the Type 2 also makes for an excellent camper conversion. This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper is one such example. Built from a Volkswagen Westfalia GL variant, it’s living proof that you don’t need a massive, multi-axle behemoth to go camping across America’s beautiful landscape. Instead, you can take this compact vehicle and enjoy ample creature comforts. With a healthy 114,000 miles on the clock, it’s got plenty more to give.
This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper is painted gray, because you don’t want it to stick out like a sore thumb when parked in a forest, for example. You want to be at one with nature, not clash with it. The vehicle sports halogen headlamps for better night-time visibility when driving in areas with no street lighting. It rolls on a set of 16-inch alloy wheels that are clearly an iconic Mercedes-Benz design, and look great on it. Take a closer look at the van’s side profile, and you’ll notice the new canvas top and roof-mounted pop-up tent as well. The interior of this 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper features fully functional air conditioning, a stove, a refrigerator, power sockets, comfortable seats that can convert into a sleeping surface, storage cabinets, and a sink. Up front, you’ll find an equally comfortable driver’s cab with seating for two, the controls for the air conditioning system, and a JVC head unit for music. With a CD player, AUX input and USB port, you won’t find yourself lacking in choice of media.
This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper uses a 2.1-liter flat-four engine to power the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox. The van comes with front and rear disc brakes for excellent stopping power. Moreover, it’s received Koni shock absorbers for better ride and handling characteristics. So, it’s ready to rock and roll. All that remains is for you to chart a course – or just wing it.

Do you love camping, but prefer to take your home with you? Yes, we know that sounds like a turtle but the automotive equivalent is a camper. You can find campers that can be towed behind your regular vehicle, as well as those which can be driven in their own right. They can even stretch into the length and width of a full-grown bus, and offer you a five-star hotel-esque experience (minus the staff, unless you’ve got those as well). But what if you want something a bit more compact? Something easy to drive and park, something that won’t break the bank, something that won’t be a pain to turn around in case you need to? In that case, this 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper from Lakewood is an ideal candidate. Based on the hugely popular Volkswagen T2 Transporter series, it’s no surprise that it makes for an excellent camper. You’ve got plenty of conveniences and features that you wouldn’t expect to fit in a vehicle of this size. Plus, its 215,255 miles show that it’s quite an enjoyable thing to behold! If you find the mileage daunting, don’t. These vehicles are built to last decades, and they’re superbly easy to repair and maintain too – you’ll be amazed at how little is taken from your wallet!

Purists best remember the Volkswagen Transporter as the Type 2 microbus or kombi. But Volkswagen has made several generations since then. The T4 or fourth generation was produced between 1995 and 2004, and of course, camper variants were popular too. That’s what we have here for grabs in Laguna Beach, California, a 2003 Volkswagen Transporter T4 EuroVan with 188,000 miles on the clock. This fine camper van comes with a pop-up top, the owner’s manual and a smooth six-cylinder engine driving its rear wheels. So if you’re a fan of road trips where you take your house with you, this van is the ideal companion.
The 70s were all about peace, love, and good times. One manufacturer who perfectly captured the times through mechanical symphony was none other than Volkswagen. A quick trip down memory lane and the range of machines leaving factory floors, which included the legendary Beetle and Karmann ghia gave its custodians the chance to explore peace and love with every drive out. Present today is the latter, and a great example of it as well. Hailing from Casper, Wyoming, this 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a machine far from the expensive classic-car life portrayed; it is simple motoring that provides smiles per gallon and looks great doing so.
This 1975 Volkswagen Type 2 23-window Samba Deluxe Transporter represents a highly customized interpretation of the iconic microbus, combining classic design language with modern comfort and entertainment-oriented enhancements. Configured in a 23-window Samba-style layout and imported from Brazil, this example reflects the extended global production legacy of the Type 2 platform. With approximately 13,048 miles shown since conversion, rear-wheel drive, and adjustable suspension, this vehicle is positioned primarily as a lifestyle-oriented cruiser rather than a utility-focused transporter.

Hang on…wasn’t the Volkswagen Type 2 or Kombi a Sixties and Seventies symbol? Of course it was, and in Germany at least, it was made from 1967 to 1979. But in Brazil, production kept going until as late as 2013! That’s what this 2013 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Bus Last Edition is, a celebration or a last hurrah to a vehicle that shaped countless lives across the world. This bus has traveled a light 20,117 miles and currently resides in Orlando, Florida. Oh, and if you can’t tell by the photos, it’s got a Martini Racing-style livery, too! We’re told that it totes a reupholstered leather and alcantara interior, an aftermarket sound system, and more.
One of the most iconic and influential vehicles of all time, the Volkswagen Type 2 microbus is an icon of love and freedom. Popularly used as camper conversions, the Type 2 was made from 1967, all the way up to 2013 in Brazil! Yes, you could get a Type 2 well into the 2010s, despite German production ceasing in 1979 to make way for the new Transporter range. Today’s 2011 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Camper Bus is likely one of those Brazil-made machines, with its custom plaid camper interior, full wood camper cabinet system and built-in compact refrigerator. It’s traveled just over 110,000 miles and is up for grabs in Orlando. So if you’re the type who likes to go touring, but stay in your vehicle, this is the perfect candidate.
