Westfalia (for a long time partly owned by VW, now in bankrupcy) has produced a lot of camping-interior (and trailers and tow-bars, too). Often based on complete new cars/vans, mostly VW, but not always. You could also order the stuff on the aftersales market and make it by yourself in your car.

DAF555 ◊ 2008-11-20 13:32	Yes, and the second year that modelname Bus was used on US market. Pre 1978 they´re VW Station Wagon. I think the campers usually were sold as VW Campmobile or Camper, there have been some different names over the years.
