Modern RVs are jam packed full of high-tech features and luxurious accommodations for riders to enjoy. There's no arguing that they're beautiful machines and a great way to experience the open road. However, RVs have been around for a long time, and some of the vintage RV campers of years past still look great today. They may not have a flat screen TV that rises out of a counter top like something out of Star Trek, but their understated classic styling still offers relaxation and fun while driving to a summer camping destination.
If you are in the market for a new way to camp and are budget-minded, you may want to consider a vintage RV camper. They will generally go easier on your wallet and bank account, and will also turn some heads at every RV park or campsite you visit.
Vintage RV campers are also great for anyone who enjoys DIY and restoration projects. Buying a rundown old camper and putting extra time and work into restoring it, so you can make it exactly into what you want is a great way to get some extra satisfaction when you go camping in your vintage camper. So don't necessarily let that musty or rundown old camper for sale go unnoticed. It could just be exactly what you are looking for underneath that rough exterior!
While a vintage RV camper would often never be described as 'spacious' or 'luxurious,' they definitely fit the billing as both quaint and cozy. Instead of feeling like you are sleeping in a hotel (or motel in some cases) room on wheels, vintage RV campers will give you more of as authentic camping experience. The nostalgia factor will also kick in if you ever spent any of your childhood camping with the family in your dad's old Airstream or Shasta camper.
If you don't want to tow your vintage RV camper or simply don't have a vehicle capable of performing such a feat (it might actually be an unwritten rule that you can't tow a vintage camper without an old wood-sided station wagon), then an old VW bus might be perfect for you. While perhaps not technically a camper, the VW bus actually makes for a pretty great camping vehicle. A VW bus, a couple lawn chairs, a campfire and good company can make for a very memorable evening.
Vintage RV campers might be overshadowed by their modern cousins, but still hold a lot of camping value for a lot of people. Check out your local classifieds and see what is available in your area. Your next camping vehicle might be just around the corner!
