Volkswagen was one of the first manufacturers of the campervan.  The VW campervan, also known as a minibus, was first introduced in 1950 and gained in popularity as an inexpensive way to take the family on vacation.  In the 1950s, the Volkswagen campervan, also know as Type 2, was one of two car models produced by Volkswagen.  The VW campervan is not only a classic but also holds iconic status in recent American history, as it was closely associated with the counter-culture of the 1970s.
