The Appeal
This is not your usual Bay Window camper conversion. This right-hand drive UK market Microbus was converted in the period by Viking, specifically undergoing what was known as the Super Viking conversion, which introduced an extra-large elevating roof which allowed the van to sleep up to six people.
Affectionately named "Erik," this Type 2 offers the complete package for anyone looking to experience the freedom of camper van life. With its comprehensive camping setup and thoughtful additions, such as the included crockery, utensils, awning and bike rack, this van is ready for adventure right away.
