This book covers the development of the campervan from the 1950s to the present day, showing how campervans have developed from converted commercial vans such as Commer and Austin in the 1950s, through Westphalia conversions of the VW Kombi, Ford Transits and Toyota Hi Ace vans in the 1960s and 1970s. The book shows how the campervan became more sophisticated and how caravan makers began to get involved with conversions. Manufacturers such as Hymer and Tigano entered the British market in the 1980s, alongside established makes such as Fiat, Peugeot and Talbot.The book also explores the growing popularity of the campervan which received a boost during the COVID pandemic and has continued to be regarded as a viable and practical option for self-catering holidays and breaks.
