Reasons to be cheerful Print E-mail
Don't you ever feel privileged to own and drive a Volkswagen camper van? Here are the main reasons to be cheerful about your VW camper.
  • It will be worth more next year than this.
  • You don't need to visit a theme park for a white-knuckle ride, just drive your camper in a gusty crosswind.
  • You can literally look down on all those driving fords, peugots, et al.
  • They are easy to fix and hard to break.
  • Mechanics in any part of the world can make parts or repair it for you.
  • Living life in the slow lane is stress-free and much more fun.
  • You can go up to porsche owners and tell them that you both have basically the same car!
  • You have an unlimited lifetime supply of free coolant.
  • Oil spots give your driveway character.
  • Any other car you drive will seem really fast.
  • You will never, ever suffer road rage from trying to pass anything, anywhere
  • The engine makes better noises than a rave band.
  • You get really interesting sounds while driving in rain, even better sounds while driving in hail!
  • People you don't know smile at you and wave at you.
  • The upright seating promotes good posture.
