Well… I had intended to be publishing a blog post this weekend advertising my VW T25 Camper Van for sale. After 5 years of ownership I was feeling like I needed a change. I had been toying with the idea for a while and as I had originally wanted a Bay Window Van when I stumbled across my T25, the thought had always been in the back of my mind that perhaps I should have gone for a Bay instead.
This is not to say that I have not thoroughly enjoyed the time I have been a ‘wedge’ owner as I have. We have had many great holidays away in our Type 25 Autosleeper and have completed a great deal of work on the van over the last 5 years, so much so that the van is in much better condition now than when I bought it! I was just starting to get the feeling that I wanted a change.

Following on from my blog post back in December, I had another exciting moment in WH Smiths the other day. I had received an email from another VW Camper Van Owner (’68 Devon) congratulating me for my van being featured in this months copy of VW Camper and Bus.
It was at that point that I remembered that I had sent in some photos a few weeks earlier thinking (or hoping) that they might be of interest.
So I jumped in the car (which was blocking the VW on the drive and is much easier to park in town) and headed off for WH Smiths. I rushed in a grabbed a copy and ripped open the sealed bag and headed straight for the Readers Rides section.

No one can ever have enough friends, especially VW Camper Van and Bus enthusiast friends.
We are all part of the VW community, and you do not need to own a van to be part of it. You just need to have the same views as us, that you love VW Camper Vans and VW Buses. No matter what sort of van you own or aspire to own, be it Split Screen, Bay Windows, T25’s, T4’s or T5’s, we are all part of the VW scene.
There are a number of great online VW communities, some of them very specialist focusing on one sort of VW Vans and some quite broad which welcome any sort of VW Van owner.
To make the VW Camper Van Blog more of a community, we have been hard at work social networking so why not add the VW Camper Van Blog on the following social networking websites:

As Designers, we read a lot of graphic design and web design magazines. Today, whilst killing some time in WHSmiths, I picked up a copy of Web Designer Magazine (a very good magazine that I normally read) and noticed there was an feature on blogs.
As we are involved in the running of two blogs (this one and our graphic design blog) I thought I would have a quick look at these whilst in Smiths and was amazed and surprised to see that vwcampervanblog.com was featured in the top 50 Inspirational blogs.

Just Kampers have just launched their new website. The move comes in an attempt to create a Facebook style website for Vw Camper Van owners. New features of the site include a new VW Van Blog, How To’s, Video Tutorials, Classified Adverts and much more.
There are a couple of great new additions to the site. One of which is the ability to customise the look of the site so it is more inline with your tastes. You can choose from a range of colours or backdrop image. My favorite if the wooden floor backdrop. Another great new addition is the Multimedia section which features old VW Van adverts and manuals which are great to flick through in the flash based page reader (Shown Below).

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new VWCamperVanBlog.com. Being a VW Camper Van Owner myself ( as well as a graphic designer ) I have decided to set up this blog to provide informatative and entertaining content about VW Camper Vans and Vw Buses. The idea is to build a community of VW Van owners who will provide articles to be published on the website.
I have owned my T25 for just over three years and have been surprised by the lack of blogs there are on this subject. I have come across a few that I regularly log on to ( Club 80 90 / The Just Kampers Forum / The Brick Yard ) but I have not found very many VW blogs.
