Why do they not sell VW sleeper vans in the States anymore?

Seems you can only get them in Europe. Sure, you can find the old Hippy vans on eBay but the new ones is a no go. Whats the deal, figured there would be a market for them.

That would be badass in the Appalachians. That would be better than a camper, if it were 4 wheel drive.

Edit: in the UK, it's called the California. And it looks pretty badass.

Everybody's kids kept leaving for California with weed and bongos. It was really a highway congestion issue.

Why would you drive it as a commuter? This would be for recreational.

I'm not a hippie. But I do enjoy their party supplies.

It would be a great way to explore our beautiful country. If it comes with a shitpot I'm sold!

Because I need to have a picnic table in my van to conduct important meetings.

Just get one of those shower chairs for disabled people, and bring it into the woods. The view will be nice enough, you won't want to use your smartphone while you deuce.

Lol. You're right. I've never seen someone look so depressed in an advertisement.

I had to crack a joke after seeing that picture in the link. Man they should have chosen a better picture.

Some folks say that a hippie won't steal. But I caught three in my corn field. One had a flag and the other had a bomb, and the third ol' boy was a-gettin' on home.

Assuming she's German, they all look like that. It's that whole holocaust guilt thing.

Drove one from New Orleans to Laguna Beach in the late '70s.
Had a really good time. This one had a stove and refrigerater.
Quite roomy with top down, really roomy with top up.
Wish I still had it.
