But <em><strong>Camper <\/strong><\/em>is not just a brand of shoes. It is also a model of <em><strong>van <\/strong><\/em>that combines transport and home in a single space. A very cosy and travelling space. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>The first Vw Camper vans, 1950s <\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">The first proper <em><strong>camper vans<\/strong><\/em>, if we exclude some of the wagons from the Wild West, were created by the German brand <strong>Volkswagen<\/strong>. Back in the 1950s on their popular \u2018<strong><em>Bulli<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 \u2018<em><strong>Kombi<\/strong><\/em>\u2019 or <em><strong>T1 <\/strong><\/em>model, as they became commercially known. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Far from the heavy armatostes called <em><strong>motorhomes<\/strong><\/em>, the Germans began to make history in 1951 with the creation of the first \u2018<em><strong>Campervan<\/strong><\/em>\u2019 by <em><strong>Westfalia<\/strong><\/em>. In 1960 came the <strong>lift-up roof<\/strong> and the second upper bed. And already in 1968 with the <strong>Vw T2 \u2018Bay Window\u2019<\/strong> the model was fully pupularised, which has survived to the present day with the <em><strong>Vw T5 California<\/strong><\/em> and the <em><strong>T3 <\/strong><\/em>and <em><strong>T4<\/strong><\/em>. One day we will go through the models one by one. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"img_redondeada_y_sombreada\"><em><strong><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 530px; height: 393px;\" title=\"Vw T1 Campervan 1951\" src=\"https:\/\/caracolvan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/anuncio-t1-2-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"Vw T1 Campervan 1951\" \/><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is a camper van? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"img_redondeada_y_sombreada\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Many people wonder what a <em><strong>camper van<\/strong><\/em> really is and what advantages it has over the super-equipped <em><strong>motorhomes<\/strong><\/em>. Well, it is a vehicle that, while retaining practically all the dynamic qualities of a car, allows you to take with you everything you might need, for eating, sleeping, travelling... <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"img_redondeada_y_sombreada\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Based on a <em><strong>van <\/strong><\/em>and without exceeding its original dimensions. Its interior is <strong>equipped <\/strong>with a <strong>kitchen, fridge, sink, cupboards, bed<\/strong>... What amounts to a small mobile home that, moreover, goes completely unnoticed on the outside. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"img_redondeada_y_sombreada\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">And because they don't have a great height or overhangs, they don't have any problems when travelling on narrow roads, nor when driving in the city streets.
