1987 VOLKSWAGEN LT40 4X4
We bought the van in January 2016 and self-rebuild completely during that year.
We travelled with it 15 months Roadtrip around Southamerica (in 2017-2018).
We drove about 35.000km on and off road through dirt, gravel, sand, mud and salty roads and the camper never broke down. We took care of all the maintenance in time.
The interior of the camper is home made with lot of love. It is perfect for 2 people with plenty of storage and totally independent camping possibilities.
