There's no place like car. (1972) |
|
Be it ever so humble, there's nothing quite like a Volkswagen Campmobile.
First of all, you have to admit, there aren't too many homes around that can take you to the beach while averaging 22 miles on a gallon of gas. And there aren't many cars around that sleep 5.
Now where would you like to go? The mountains? Terrific. With the engine in the rear, the Campmobile can take you just about anywhere.
How about skiing? Great. Since the engine's air-cooled, you can travel to the iciest weather and never have to worry about water or antifreeze.
How about swimming? Great again. That same engine that can't freeze up in cold weather, can't boil over in hot weather.
Or how about just a quick trip down to the A & P? No problem. The Campmobile, being only 13 inches longer, parks and handles like our VW Beatle.
And of course no matter where you go, you'll go first class.
Each and every Campmobile comes with (or goes with) a charming kitchen with sink, icebox, and water pump. A large dining table. Closets. Screens. Curtains. Bedroom enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. (Plus an optional pop-ip top to sleep 1 more child and tent to sleep 3 more adults.)
Now before you run away thinking this is the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel, there is one drawback.
For a Volkswagen, the Campmobile is expensive.
It costs $3,440.
But of course, we can quickly justify that.
After all, $3,440 is a little less than you'd pay for the average automobile.
And a lot less than you'd pay for the average home.
