Volkswagen T25 / T3 Autohomes Kamper Mark 2 Camper Model History

VW T25 Autohomes Kamper Solid Sided Elevating Roof Camper

Circa 1983 Autohomes introduced the T25 / T3 Volkswagen Autohomes Kamper Mark 2. This was an updated and improved version of the original Autohomes Kamper. As with the original it had an elevating pop top roof with rigid sides. The interior had cupboards along the side behind the drivers seat and the rear seat converted into a 3/4 width double bed. The improvements over the original Autohomes Kamper included new interior decor, lighter furniture, improved curtain location, thicker upper bed mattress, more comprehensive kitchen facilities, increased storage space, detail improvements to elevating roof, and a much simplified method of converting rear sear to a double bed.

The standard engine option was the 2000cc CU air cooled engine with an extra cost option of a water cooled diesel engine.
