New LEGO Volkswagen T2 Campervan
The LEGO Group has added a second campervan to its portfolio of model vehicles, with the reveal of its Volkswagen T2 Camper Van.
The new LEGO Volkswagen T2 Camper Van is based on its namesake of the late 1960s and 1970s and succeeds the previous LEGO Creator Expert Volkswagen T1 Camper Van, adding some new features in the process.
The new set is larger than before and distinguished by a new paint colour, a sliding door, as well as the trademark T2 wraparound Baywindow front windscreen and a new ‘face.’ .

Under the hood, the set also features working steering. The LEGO Volkswagen T2 Camper Van’s detailed camping interior is also fully equipped for the open road, with opening cabinets, fridge, sink and a gas stove with a teapot.
Days at the beach are suitably catered for, as the set comes with a set of folding chairs and of course a surfboard, while a folding rear bench seat provides a comfortable place to stay under starry skies. A pop-top canvas roof provides that all-important standing room, and fabric curtains ofter privacy at night.
For personalisation, the kit comes with a sticker set including retro decals and a choice of German or US number plates.

“Though the Volkswagen Camper is no stranger to our LEGO cars collection, this latest iteration brings even more delights for LEGO builders. The meticulously kitted out interior is sure to charm seasoned campers and adventurers alike, while the eye-catching exterior with pop-up roof is a feat of engineering just like the original.”
