I'm getting older by the second! "those weird VW vanwagons"! they were wonderful-- (and have been reborn as mini vans of today!) My cousin had one set up for camping-- and on one of his early dates with his now wife, her father saw the van, peaked in, and saw a bed-- and asked him if he had an other car... He returned on his motor cycle with an extra helmet.. At which point dad decided a mini van with a bed was better transportation!

Cheap, reliable, and easy to fix, they got great gas milage..
I forgot all about Kombi as name-- and then it was a word i had only heard-- and thought it spelt Combi-- A friend who lived in Uganda had one. when he wrote us, he mentioned getting a VW minibus.. but when he came home, he spoke of his Combi.
