But on the Continent they seem to be refered to as T3s im not sure where this stems from but if your in Germany, Belgium, Holland etc they are refered to as Volkswagen T3s. In the United states thay dont have this problem as they are known as Vanagons.

So to Put things simply if your own a Volkswagen Transporter 1980-1990 Model you can call it:

T25
TYPE 25
T3
(NOT TYPE 3)
VANAGON
WEDGE VAN
CHEESE VAN
BRICK VAN
BREAD VAN

They all equate to the same well loved VW Van

Please feel free to add your comments below together with nicknames etc.

The Tailgate on the T25 Transporter is often prone to rusting out especially on earlier versions of the van. The Tailgate Struts / Damper which hold the Tailgate up when open are also prone to failing after a few years they are a very simple and inexpesive item to replace.

Detailed in depth coverage of VW Camper interiors from Early Splitscreens, Baywindows, T25 Transporters, T4 Transporters to 2005 T5 Transporters. Loads of Photos included make this Book an extremely enjoyable read aswell as a great reference guide.

As Volkswagen themselves never made a 'Factory Coversion' the variations between the many conversion companies such as Westfalia, Devon, Dormobile, Danbury and Sundial are very different. With 40+ various independant companies also having done / made conversions its amazing the differences. The Book offers great reviews of most.

A Must have book for VW Camper Nuts.
