Gift Set includes 64-page paperback book with 52-minute DVD The Story of the VW Camper Van. Born into the post-war environment of greater personal freedom, increased leisure time and the wealth to be able to enjoy them, the Camper Van in its various guises - from the hugely popular Volkswagen through to the massive mobile homes produced by companies like Winnebago - has become one of the most popular forms of leisure travel in the world.
