A camping forum for VW bus and camper owners.
VW Camper Family
WELCOME
Hey everyone! If you found this, you found the online home of some very offline people - The VW Camper Family. People into VW bus and van camping. Get involved in the forum or check out the upcoming events. If you are into VW buses, vanagons, eurovans and camping, you should hang out with us. Really, you should.
HOW TO USE THIS SITE:
Post an event: Post an event that you are organizing or know about. People can RSVP right in the event. Please make any comments about the event on the event's page.
General Forum:
This area is for threads of interest to any VW camper.
Groups:
PLEASE JOIN THE GROUPS YOU ARE INTERESTED IN! THAT'S WHERE THE EVENT PLANNING HAPPENS! Groups can be created as specific needs come up. Things that are a help to all people, like "campground reviews", are perfect for this category. Or groups in a specific location.
RULES:
Just two so far:
1. Be nice.
2. Keep the content specific to VWs and camping. All other threads, photos, videos, etc will be removed.

Hello Mark, you are right the new Dometic refrigerators do not fit in the stock cabinet. There is a lot of changes to be done. (You can find the infromation on their web-page, which you probably know already) It even looks like, that the other ones…

I thought it looked familiar we went up there for years in the spring to go camping and fishing.Have not been there since the April storms.

Buses of the corn at Brooklin Ontario Canada,
August 10, 2012 at 12pm to August 12, 2012 at 12pm
It's not the biggest event on the calendar, but we've been doing this for over a decade and we know how to have a good time. Buses of the Corn is a Family Friendly event for VW bus enthusiasts of all ages... Splitties to eurovans, stock or wild custom are all welcome. But it's not a show, it's a place to happen.
