I once had a 1967 VW bus just like the one in the middle photo on the left. First of the 12 volt models, last of the split windshield double side door type. Had an aftermarket camper install from Freedom Camper in it and I pretty much lived in it for a number of years back when I was a climbing bum. Travelled for years all over the Western US and a bit of Canada & Mexico too, trying to find where I really wanted to live. Kept on coming back to where I ended up and still am half a century later! Really loved that ol' van and had some amazing times in it. Sold it half a dozen years ago to a fellow who promised to "fix it up". I'm sure he spent $25K+ doing so, and now has it over on the coast and takes it to rallys and shows it regularly. Actually, still has mostly original paint, and he hasn't done anything to the engine, which I had rebuilt twice, and made it a 1600cc with accessory oil cooling, instead of the original 1500cc and tower cooler in the shroud on the block.
