1978 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia Campmobile

Volkswagen's Type 2 Westfalia Campmobile transformed the already practical Transporter into a self-contained recreational vehicle, complete with sleeping accommodations, kitchenette, and clever storage solutions. By 1978, the Westfalia had become one of the most recognizable campers in the world, pairing Volkswagen's air-cooled simplicity with thoughtfully designed living quarters that made it equally suited for cross-country travel or weekend camping. This 1978 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia Campmobile is powered by a replacement 1,970cc air-cooled flat-four equipped with Bosch fuel injection and paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Finished in Dakota Beige over brown, beige, and green plaid cloth upholstery, the camper is equipped with a pop-top roof tent, jalousie windows, shore-power connection, and a Westfalia camper interior with a propane-fueled stove, retractable front seat belts, and dual batteries. This 1978 Volkswagen Type 2 Westfalia Campmobile is now offered with an owner's manual, factory literature, and a clean Florida title in the seller's name.
