garco ◊ 2011-11-12 21:48	RDW lists it a 280 G92 Kampeerauto... But I think it's a J5?
929V6 ◊ 2011-11-12 22:21	I think so. http://forum.autoforumonline.nl/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=630
carcrasher88 ◊ 2011-11-12 22:38	What brand camper body is this? I can't read the last two letters... -- Last edit: 2011-11-12 22:38:33
Ingo ◊ 2011-11-12 22:45	Hmm, the brand-name is altered. The colour sheme, though it's probably the original one, as it looks quite 80ies-ish, looks not familiar to me. The problem is, that this basis, the Ducato/J5-platform is most common for Camper-conversions in Europe. There is a plenty of manufacturers around in several countries.
DynaMike ◊ 2011-11-12 22:45	I'd say that's the Belgian make Maes, that uses Maesss as logo. Link to "www.maesss.be"
Ingo ◊ 2011-11-12 22:48	Not very common, this company, I guess. I was googling around with different spellings, but haven't found anything. Just now, with the three "s".
carcrasher88 ◊ 2011-11-12 22:50	Same here. Seems very unlikely we'll get a model on this body.
Ingo ◊ 2011-11-12 23:05	Only built in America for America?
Sandie ◊ 2011-11-12 23:09	They were also exported here in LHD. There was a Renault based Winnebago called the LeSharo too (in spite of the fact that the Trafic was never sold there). They did a van too: /vehicle_166904-Volkswagen-Eurovan-Typ-2-T4.html
Ingo ◊ 2011-11-12 23:18	Ah, yes, I remember, that I've seen such a Renault-based Winnebago last year in Scotland (and it surprised me a bit). It had an UK-plate, but was LHD. But it hadn't that sign on the back as this German import: Also in Scotland I've spotted two campmobiles, based on a Citroen Visa -- Last edit: 2011-11-12 23:19:04

carcrasher88 ◊ 2011-11-12 23:36	ingo wrote Only built in America for America? Nice, Winnebago Rialta. I just looked on eBay, and there's a 1999 model available. I've always liked the Rialta, they're a bit different from the usual US-market RV.
Ingo ◊ 2011-11-12 23:37	Yes, the Visa-Camper was the second one, short, but higher. But wasn't the name an obstacle for the selling? In Germany it would be one. Over here "Roma" is a politcal correct name for Gypsies - which aren't liked. Due the incidents in the Nazi-times open antagonism is not appropriate, but in fact it exists. The old, burdened term is "Zigeuner". It's used politically correct only for "Zigeunerschnitzel" and "Zigeunersoße" (it contains green pepper), but not for the people. A marvellous new creation is "MEM" for "Mobile Ethnic Minorities" No kidding, it exists really. Back to the Campmobiles: the Bedford Bambi isn't the most microscopic one There was a conversion of the Fiat Uno and an Irish friend owned a Dormobile based on a Ford Escort MkI. -- Last edit: 2011-11-12 23:40:03

Sandie ◊ 2011-11-12 23:41	How about a Morris Ital camper: http://www.flickr.com/photos/38389354@N07/4827099438/ ?
Ingo ◊ 2011-11-12 23:43	My immediate thought about that was: "If dsl is a camping-lover, this would be his first choice!"
Sandie ◊ 2011-11-12 23:51	When one thinks of Ginetta the immediate thought is of sleek sports cars but they also dabbled in Campers: http://www.flickr.com/photos/47362452@N02/4919802313/ There was an article in a recent Classic and Sportscar about old campers.
Ingo ◊ 2011-11-12 23:54	carcrasher88 wrote Seems very unlikely we'll get a model on this body. Because this van wasn't sold in America. Actually the very most makers of vans and light trucks are offering just naked chassis to conversion-manufacturers. Some chassis have a complete drivers-cab, some the frist half incl.windscreen and some only the nose with grille and front bonnet. Two, three times I've spotted on the Autobahn nearby trucks, loaded with such naked Dodge Sprinter-chassis, on the way for shipping to America. My thought about this sight was: "Hmmm, if a finished conversion will appear at IMCDb, we need a more precise specification. "Origin Germany built partly in Germany and partly in the USA, made for USA"

Ingo ◊ 2011-11-13 00:54	But isn't the Morris Ital Camper a perfect reason to become one?
