But, let’s backtrack. What is a camper you ask? Though the term is generic and has even been used to describe RVs, the camper is usually a small to a large-sized vehicle that is self-propelled. Also, called the campervan, the vehicle is usually built with a coach built body for the use of the accommodation.

Dating back all the way to the late 19th century, the camper (obviously not self-propelled) was a staple of American culture for those who wanted to travel out West and venture into the unknown with their families.

In the 60s among the rise of hippie culture and of course the eventual “ Summer of Love”, one camper emerged in the Western part of the United States that would eventually become synonymous with hippie culture, the VW camper.
