Westfalia camper trailer or various camper trailer

[Ceckert64]

So this might be a stupid question.

How much is a westfalia camper/caravan worth and how rare are they?

Today I went a different route home and I passed this old camper. I thought it was kinda different looking, didn’t put much thought into it as I’ve passed it a few times. I got home, was looking through social media and saw a VW bus pulling a similar camper. Then it hit me that it was likely a westfalia camper that I saw. Anyways I might take pictures on Monday. But it’s sitting in a front yard looking abandoned. Is it something I should possibly try to get? It looked like the bigger model camper/caravan

Thanks.

I did actually borrow one from someone local, who we seem to see about once a month. I consider it an *extreme* level of trust that the handle was lent us.
It looks a bit tricky to make a really good repro, though.

I was really hoping to find a pair of originals, a repro would be second best. I know the caravans aren't common, but the westy kits for VW are very rare. So it is very exciting to see so many caravans with the handles. I googled Westfalia caravan and found tons of pics! It makes me hopeful that someone has a parts rig around, or some extra bits.

There seem to be many more in Europe so I might have to look over there. At least they are small and easy to ship.

Maybe someone nice would let you borrow one so you can re make it, maybe not though.

hi!
I have recently bought one of these 50's vintage westfalia trailers as is shown in the first pic of this forum. Thinking about selling it and there seems not much information out there to figure out a price. Any ideas here? It is in fair condition.
thanks for any insight, links,websites or help!

We got this 1965 Apache Silver Buffalo pop tent trailer. It resembles the cars of the 60's. It is all aluminum with silver anodizing and it has a good tent still.

You may have to use a custom made seal. Don't be scared. Careful measurements of your axle and bearing housing will result a a well-made seal that will be just as good as original equipment. The low numbers of Westfalia Caravans that were produced lead me to believe you will have a difficult time finding your replacement seals on the shelf at your local Schuck's O'Reilly Auto Parts store, EVEN IF you did have a valid part number.

Check these guys out: http://www.technicalspecialties.com/

Some friends that build antique cars have used them with great results.
