vw campers

Ah, VW campers—those iconic, boxy beasts that scream freedom and questionable fuel efficiency. The classic VW Type 2, or Transporter, is often powered by an air-cooled engine with around 50-70 horsepower, while modern versions boast turbocharged engines with up to 150 horsepower. New models like the VW California come with a price tag starting around $80,000 AUD, whereas vintage models can be found on Tradingpost or CarShowroom anywhere between $20,000 to $100,000 AUD, depending on condition and nostalgia factor.

Common issues include:

  • Rust, the eternal enemy of all classic metal beasts.
  • Electrical gremlins, especially in older models.
  • Engine overheating in air-cooled variants.

Consult official VW documentation for exact specs and maintenance schedules, and prepare your wallet for a love affair with these rolling legends.
