Hello all. I am neck deep into a 56 DD Panel. Both sets of doors have had window cut into them. Here’s the thing. They are perfect. This is not a hobbies or hack job. Wondering your thoughts? Was told it may have been punched at the dealer for a camper kit... no idea if it’s a camper but thought I’d show y’all.

Looks similar to my '61, it might be a VWoA Campmobile like mine.

Does anyone know where to find more information on the van? Cant seem to find a lot of Information on E-Z camper, and how many where completed in 1965. specially like this one. it seems to be a one of.

Scroll near the mid to end of page 1 and you will see your EZ Camper.

Also to keep a great thread alive and well post more pictures of yours and of course always put the images in the samba gallery.

If i post more pictures you might kick me out of the forum. lol.
As far as I can tell, this thread is the only one I have found where they have the exact conversion pictures of my van, although. My van doesn't belong in here. lol. I will do some clean up this weekend and post pics and see what is said.

[LAGrunthaner]

maxgogetter, IMO if original images are in the gallery and connected to useful threads more builders/restorers/patina savers can keep their buses alive and near to what the factory built. The best advice I ever received here is don't throw out anything until you know what you have such as if it is German VW items keep it post it discuss it and if you don't need it for your build get it to those who can use it to keep more buses alive. If you come across such items post in a separate thread. If you have original camper EZ as you have continue to place images here if useful for identification. Others will chime in as needed.

You can always start a thread of your project to keep it archived during your build.

One more camper for the thread...'65 walk-thru panel van, converted by EZ Camper. Van was refurb'd in 1992 or so (I think).

California and EZ Camper tags indicate it was #373...mfg in 1965 (Panel Van is a 65 model year that arrived in CA late 64 according to mcode plate).

Interior panels are mostly original (I think) with the exception of the icebox that I'd like to re-panel - either that, or EZ Camper REALLY used whatever they had lying around to do panels.

Few forum questions:
Anyone know a reasonable match for the roof and wall paneling on EZ Campers like this one? Would like to re-do the icebox.

Has anyone seen this "short swing-up table" in the back...or was that moved at some point in the van's life from the door to that location? (there is not one on the door which is why I suspect the swap) It actually works well for just 2 people sitting in the back.

Also curious if the bed mechanism is original although not actually important because whatever is in there appears to work fine.

That is one fine camper bus. Perhaps the original panel is under the Formica ice box door panel. All else looks original to me.
