VW Bug Motorhome

David Freiburger

The reality of a VW Bug motorhome itself is plain bliss, but when you add the homegrown art of the side, this is thing is pure genius.

I spotted this Beetle camper during my honeymoon road trip in 2005 off Route 66 in Holbrook, Arizona. Surprisingly, this is not homemade. These were made by a company called Bugaroo, though something tells us they were not hot sellers. There was also a time when Mechanix Illustrated magazine showed you how to build one yourself. All the details are still available at a web page here.

UM… How’s that still a VW? VWs are simple… Having the engine where it is in that vehicle makes it more difficult. VW made WESTYS for this. Waste of a good car. R.I.P little Beetle.

Wow! That’s the most weird motorhome I have ever seen and probably also the smallest one.

Bliss? Pure genius? You got to be kidding me? Ridiculous and hideous come to mind.
