The Camper is evidently designed as an large 1960s van based on the [[wp:Volkswagen Type 2#T1|Volkswagen Type 2 T1]] in all its appearances in the series. Whereas the GTA London rendition is depicted with a design proportionate to the Volkswagen Type 2's, the GTA San Andreas rendition features a narrower body and lower ground clearance. The GTA London rendition also comes with only one color scheme (orange with a white top), whereas the GTA San Andreas rendition may be found in a variety of two-tone or three-tone color schemes.

Whilst the GTA London rendition is equipped with a front-mounted spare tire and a [[wp:Volkswagen Westfalia Campers|Westfalia]]-style pop-top, the GTA San Andreas rendition sports more variety in the kinds of accessories featured; GTASan Andreas Campers with Westfalia pop-tops and peace symbols in front (where the Volkswagen logo on the actual van would be) exist alongside the regular "kombi" variant. Regular Campers in GTA San Andreas may also sport open curtains or no curtains at all, while pop-top Campers feature closed curtains.

The contents of a Camper's rear compartment in GTA San Andreas also vary; regular Campers may either with no curtains and no seating in the rear compartment, or feature opened curtains and actual rear seats; pop-top Campers feature closed curtains and a bed.
 
Despite its size and resemblance to a Volkswagen van, the Camper in GTA San Andreas is only capable of carrying three people, including the driver (thus making the game's Camper the only vehicle in the GTA series with such a capacity). The driver and first passenger are seated in the front, while the second passenger is seated at the back via the left-hand side door, regardless of whether the rear compartment has an actual seat.


Like most vans in GTA San Andreas, it cannot be modified at any car shop.

In comparison to its predecessor, the [[Love Wagon]], the Camper's performance in GTA London is slightly more acceptable with a moderately good top speed, slightly below average acceleration and handling, average weight. While valued as £400 in mint condition, the van cannot be exported as it is "too big".

Like the Volkswagen Type 2, the Camper in GTA San Andreas runs on a small flat-4 cylinder engine. Acceleration and speed are among the worst in the game, as are handling and braking, which are also inferior with poor hill climbing capabilities but match the vehicle well due to the weak engine and bulky chassis. Also, despite its size and resemblance to a Volkswagen van, the Camper is capable of carrying only 3 people, including the driver; where one passenger sits in the bed while the other sits on the seat. It is probably the only vehicle that can only carry two other people.
