Volkswagen Kampeerauto – the collective page of Transporter-based campers, the Dutch RDW category: four- and five-cylinder engines of 1,896 to 2,461 cm³, 1,727 to 2,380 kg unladen
This collective page gathers the Volkswagen Transporter in motorhome and campervan conversions, registered in the Netherlands under the Kampeerauto category. Converters such as Westfalia, with its Joker range on the T3 and T4, and Bürstner, with the Coach model on the T4, fitted the VW Transporter at the factory with a pop-up roof, kitchenette and seating-and-sleeping arrangement to make it a camper; the register's model list ranges from plain D-badged diesels to the Elegance trim line.

The register lists 15 versions with displacements from 1,896 to 2,461 cm³ from four- and five-cylinder diesel engines, unladen weights from 1,727 to 2,380 kg and gross weights from 2,400 to 2,810 kg; widths lie between 1,840 and 2,200 mm.
Across every generation, the VW Transporter is the most widely used base for campervans in Europe, and Westfalia was VW's official conversion partner for decades before the brand later also offered its own vehicles such as the California; the Kampeerauto registration in the Netherlands grants tax advantages over a plain commercial vehicle, provided the fixed camping equipment is fitted.
On a used VW Kampeerauto, damp and the condition of the pop-up roof, the operation of the fridge, gas system and water system, rust on the underbody and sliding-door sill, and the mileage and condition of the five- or four-cylinder diesel all count; parts for the chassis and engine run through the VW trade, and for the conversion through the converters and their service partners.
