Camping Vans’ Popularity Soars

During the ’60s, good old camping was a favorite pastime. It was a great way to distress with friends and families, and people from that decade were familiar with the Volkswagen Camper Van like this in the photo. Small cabins attached to the rear end of cars were no longer necessary with this RV-type vehicle.

Despite being a symbol of the ’60s camping climate, Volkswagen reportedly had to stop production of this old-school ride in Brazil. The German company said that it reached a decision after learning that it couldn’t keep up with South American laws, mandating anti-lock braking systems and airbags.
