the camper certainly will need new tires

note bumps to bumper

 

note crack at left rear of fiberglass

 

 

 

the original seats have worn sections -- hence the lamb covers

 

 

 

 

note the heater for the passenger compartment -- there's a hose that runs this heat under the rear seat

-- it hasn't been tested recently

This is a 1971 VW Camper -- Westphalia

 

This camper was purchased second hand around 1976 by my parents.

 

They owned it until 2003 when they bought a VW Weekender.  The camper then came my way.
