The VW Camper Van Blog is a website for lovers of all types of VW campers from Split Screens and Bays to T25’s and T4’s.

Whether it’s for inspiration for your own VW Van or just for fun, looking at other photos of VW Camper Vans and Buses is sometimes addictive. It’s great going through the ’show us yours’ sections on the forums and seeing what other people have done with their vans.

One of the best places to find images of VW Camper Vans is Flickr. Flickr is an online photo sharing site which allows the user to upload images to groups or to create their own groups. If you ever want to search for an image of something, it can normally be found on Flickr.

Recently, I started searching through the many VW Camper Van related image galleries that can be found on Flickr and here I share with you the best ones I have found:

As you know, we have recently completed a restoration on my Volkswagen Type 25 Transporter which I am really pleased with. Part of the process was thinking how we wanted the end product to look. We decided that we liked the van ‘riding high’ and so decided not to have it lowered at all. We also decided we liked some of the original features of the van, like the non-colour coded bumpers and the stock rims so decided to keep this all original.

However, one thing I knew I wanted way before we even conceived of having enough money to have the camper van re-sprayed was white wall tyres. I really like them and whilst I am sure it is not everyones cup of tea seeing these on a T25 (clash of era’s and all that) but I really wanted them.

After seeing a few retro, teardrop micro caravans at some recent shows, I though I would go on the hunt for some of the best caravans to compliment your Volkswagen Camper Van.

It seems that prices for these are almost as high as a decent VW Van! Much more than I thought you would have to pay. I was hoping to get one to tow behind my VW T25 but I think it will have to wait (especially as I am still waiting to get my interior re-upholstered).

Anyway, I have managed to find 5 places where you can buy your own Retro Micro Caravans. I have also included 20 more images of awesome micro-caravans which would look amazing behind any VW Camper Van:

As I have mentioned before, both my partner and I are graphic designers and as such it’s very difficult to know when to stop designing. I know whenever we have a free minute to ourselves after a long day at work we immediately move on to our personal design projects. Or if there are no personal projects on the go we read design magazines (or VW Camper magazines) and books or explore the internet for graphic design blogs or portfolios gaining valuable inspiration for the next project. Essentially, we eat, sleep and breath design. But when is it the right time to say, ‘No, I am going to stop designing and do something else’?

We recently posed the question on our graphic design blog ’When should a graphic designer stop designing?’. We had some great comments from fellow graphic designer as follows:
