Like a British VW Camper | Commer Dormobile Autosleeper for sale

This is definitely one that I had to share because I kind of want this. I feel like half of the fun would be explaining to people what it is.

Nice but like the shape of the Bedford Doormobile better.

A longtime friend has not one, but TWO Commer Funwagons. He took me for a ride in the running one (the other is, of course, for parts).

"The engine is a 1700 from an Alpine," he told me as we puttered down the road.

"So you could drop in a Ford 289 with a Tiger conversion, right?"

He just laughed and laughed.

It's a sweet little camper for a vintage, English-themed version of #vanlife. And yes, half the fun is explaining what it is -- especially when it's the Funwagon version.

I can't locate the distinction between the Dormobile and the Funwagon, though if I had the Dormobile, it would receive a plethora of those inspirational wall-art quotes, equally distributed between Lewis Carroll and Petronius Arbiter. Because that's how I roll... in honey and sesame seeds, baby.

The only thing I don't like about this is it's not powered by the Comer TS-3 Horizontally-Opposed Uniflow (2-cycle) Diesel (3 Cylinders, 12 Connecting Rods, 6 Rockers, 6 pistons, a roots blower and no valves!) and was never designed for it. 

Dormobile still makes conversions that turn Vans, SUVs, etc. into excellent campers.  A Land Rover Defender 110 was featured on Bring-a-Trailer a couple of years ago.
