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.

Back in December, I asked you to vote for your favourite van featured on the VW Camper Van Blog throughout 2009. We had a wide range of different vans to choose between from Split Screens and Bay Window Single Cabs right through to Type 25 Campers and T4’s.

Well… the votes have been official counted and verified and I am pleased (and not surprised) to announce that the winner of the VW Camper Van Blog Readers Ride of the Year 2009 is… (drum roll), Bob’s 1967 21 Window Split Screen Microbus which was featured back in August.

Coming in a close 2nd was Amy’s 1969 Low Light Early Bay Window Camper Van from September and in 3rd place was the unusual 1979 VW Type II Bay Window Camper Van owned by Orville which was featured in November.

The final order is as follows:

1st Place: Readers Rides #13: 1967 21 Window Split Screen Microbus

2nd Place: Readers Rides #14: 1969 Low Light Early Bay Window Camper Van

3rd Place: Readers Rides #16: 1979 VW Type II Bay Window Camper Van

4th Place: Readers Rides #9: 1978 Volkswagen Type 2 Bay Window Bus

5th Place: Readers Rides #11: VW Type 25 Camper Van

6th Place: Readers Rides #10: 1978 VW Type 2 Bay Window Bus

7th Place: Readers Rides #2: VW T25 Caravelle GL 1989

8th Place: Readers Rides #12: VW Type 25 Work Van

9th Place: Readers Rides #5: VW Type 2 1975 Bay Window Microbus

10th Place: Readers Rides #7: VW Type 2 1977 Bay Window

11th Place: Readers Rides #1: VW T25 Autosleeper Trident 1990

12th Place: Readers Rides #4: VW Type 2 1975 Devon Bay Window

13th Place: Readers Rides #3: VW T25 1989 Westfalia Multivan Magnum Edition

14th Place: Readers Rides #6: VW T4 Camper Van

15th Place: Readers Rides #15: 1971 Low Light Early Bay Window Singlecab Pickup

16th Place: Readers Rides #8: VW Type 2 1974 Bay Window Camper Van

Sadly for me, My T25 Autosleeper came in at 11th place and I had hoped it would do better (especially considering I have just sold it!!)

Thanks to everyone who voted and get some photos of your van sent over to info@vwcampervanblog.com to be in the running for the Readers Ride of the Year 2010!

  Hello, Just came across your blog for the first time and I love it. Don’t own a campervan myself (wish I did) but love the pics and the stories. I’ll place a link to it from my blog. Cheers, Paula.
