1:1 Scale VW Camper Van Tent Keeps You Dry and Groovy

Want to make all the other kids jealous at the next summer music festival?  Ditch your Coleman Elite for something far cooler–a tent modeled in the shape and size of a 1965 VW Camper van (Microbus*).

This tent is officially licensed (whew – I was worried about that) and has doors on the side where a VW van’s real doors are located.  At 182 cm high, this tent has full standup-ability for four people.

Looks like this tent won’t be available for this summer, though, as it won’t ship until August 2011.  As a point of comparison, here is a real 1965 VW Microbus.

Best of all is the ad’s disclaimer at the end:  “This product is NOT an actual VW van!”

* NOTE
I know it’s called a Microbus, because in the authoritative words of C.W. McCall’s “Convoy” (1975):

Well, we shot the line, we went for broke
With a thousand screamin’ trucks
And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus
In a chartreuse microbus
