Chevrolet Belaire Kampeerauto – a motorhome body on a Chevrolet chassis: eight-cylinder engine, gross weight 4,770 kg, width 2,600 mm, built 1981
Chevrolet Belaire Kampeerauto is a motorhome built on a Chevrolet chassis; the Dutch word kampeerauto means motorhome and describes the vehicle type here rather than the model name. The body belongs to the many motorhome conversions that independent body builders fitted onto series-production US chassis during the 1970s and 1980s, since their V8 engines offered enough power in reserve for heavy living compartments.

For this 1981 model the register lists an eight-cylinder engine. Kerb weight is 4,008 kg, gross vehicle weight 4,770 kg, wheelbase 3,710 mm, and width 2,600 mm.
At 2,600 mm wide, the body is noticeably wider than a standard Chevrolet chassis track, pointing to pull-out side windows or a widened living cabin, a common feature of custom motorhome conversions of this period. Between kerb and gross weight around 760 kg of headroom remains, which a fully equipped motorhome quickly uses up with water, gas and luggage.
For a used example, check for damp and corrosion at the join between the driving cab and the living compartment, the condition of the chassis and suspension, brake system operation, and the seals of the roof, windows and the widened body walls. Drivetrain parts run through the Chevrolet dealer network, while parts for the living compartment are now only available through specialist restorers.
