How to ID your camper (westy and non-westy)

A few more reference pics on restored EZ Camper for others with a similar vintage - note "small" dining table, which I think was a modification at some point (maybe taken off the door?) as I haven't seen any brochure pictures that don't have a big dining table with a flip-out leg. A few things I think are typical on EZ camper .. all the doors are oval with chrome edging.

Seat coverings were re-done by a prior owner, and I assume floor was as well - I seriously doubt that it's the original vinyl floor - but if anyone has an EZ camper with that same floor I'd love to know!

Non-original Westy repro rack on the back - need to do some work on the hooks (currently have duct tape wrapped around them). And yes, I know a '65 panel van didn't leave the factory two-tone but I like it better than it would look as a factory-correct full pearl white version...

Not sure where to post this but made a major score today. Backstory to come, but super grateful this came together after 10 years. Will post more pics and story in a day or so, but everything seems to be there and in amazing condition!

Finally got a chance his morning to get everything out. So I have know this older couple for 15 years. For the last 10 years the wife told me that her parents had a 62 bus camper that they bought new. The bus was long gone, but she though she “ maybe had a toilet or something “ in her dads old basement. Well I forgot all about this as it hasn’t been discussed for last 8 years. They called me this
week and said she found the toilet along with the tent. I was blown away. I went over and bought it immediately. She is now looking for old pictures, as she swears she has some from them camping in early 60’s. They used the tent until 1965 then it went into her fathers basement until then. I think I have all of the pieces? Only 4 pieces of tent material so I don’t know if I am missing something? It is in amazing condition. Toilet looks like new. Tent looks almost new, no big stains, zero rips or tears.
Anyhow, great score, and always keep your ears open, things are still found.

Amazing score and story on the tent/toilet. The most important factor in buying any toilet is that it is new and unused.

Interesting that the black painted poles appear to have some earlier galvanized parts.
The black poles started 60-61 so maybe Westfalia was using up some of their older 59-60 galvanized parts? I don't think I have ever seen this before.

Will you be putting SO-23 style roof mounts on your bus?
