I posted these pics in the Riviera camper section. All they could tell me is that it's not a Riviera. I think it might be American?
Thanks for your help.

I think this is a Riviera camper based on a 1962 panel. There is not much left of the interior. Anyone have pics of what the complete interior should look like? Thanks, Eric K.

Ha! yes, good one. I walked into that one! It has some wood stamps on the back as the photo below illustrates. I tried to buy some wood to do a repair, I looked up the company. Looks like they invented plywood or something. They make high end lightweight balsa plywood for boats.
Here is a view of the front part with the stove that came with it. No idea about the stove, needs parts in order to work.

I am trying to figure out what kind of camper I really have. Any help would be nice. I have done my research and still can not pin point it. Here are some pictures of the bed and table it came with. It has the 5 Hehr windows. If more pictures are needed please let me know. Oh, almost forgot....it's a 1965.
Thanks!

This is the identical table to the one in my '63 EZ camper, but that's where the similarities end.

I noticed some other EZ's having the same shape table. Did EZ's come a badge on the passenger dog leg? This thing has been repainted and they could have taken off the tags. I am thinking of removing some of the paint on the dog leg to see if I can find anything. Didn't sundials just come with the tag on the fridge? _________________

Yes, Sundials have an icebox tag and I've seen one with a tag on the front of the bed also.
I haven't seen a Sundial with that table though. _________________ '67 Beetle

I believe you are right about EZs having the tag on the dogleg. Like yours, mine has had repaints, etc and there's no sign of the tag(s). |

Never.
They were with the SO-69 and Campmobile 70s, and possibly later Bay Window westies.
The W/T SO-42 had a cushion that set on wooden rails on the ide of the jumpseat and the icebox _________________ The Obsolete Air-Cooled Documentation Project http://oacdp.org/ |

Okay I have read this thread over and over and over from top to bottom, front to back. I have a 1958 VW Type 2 walk thru. It is designated a VW2/21 = panelvan. Best I can narrow it down is production in May of 1958. However it has a Campmobile interior.
I accept it may of been done after purchase, or maybe even by an owner somewhere in her life, but this setup appears to me as done professionally. Any thoughts or opinions? |

Still no takers on my question about the "sleeping arrangement" listed
under part number 211 012 905???
Here's another version of the Martin Walter Dormobile interior. This one
has a formica interior, unlike my Dormer, which has all the cupboards and
stuff in hammerited sheet metal:

Wow, that's my old bus, is a 64 RHD UK bus, reg no. AKM918B. I owned it from 1995-2005. One of the best vehicles I've owned. Inside the little metal draw is a pencil signature from Martin Walter. Would love to know where it is now.
I believe the formica interior came about in 63 and if you notice the 'wardrobe' has swapped sides when compared to the earlier metal cabinets. Seats allowed for two single beds or a double, I've never slept so well as in that bus. _________________ So full of action my name should be a verb

Interesting thing about Dormobiles is no one actually knows....
I know of 3 63 buses and 2 have the formica and one has the metal cabinets, and I know of a 64 bus with the metal cabinets which are going into my 64 Dormobile.
I am wondering if the formica or metal cabinets were cost cutting or customers choice ?? |
