The Camper is a camper van featured Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, Grand Theft Auto: London, 1961, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V.

Description

Design

GTA London and GTA San Andreas

The Camper is evidently designed as a large 1960s van based on the 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 1969 and GTA London 1961 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 Westfalia-style pop-top, the GTA San Andreas rendition sports more variety in the kinds of accessories featured; GTA San 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. The contents of a Camper's rear compartment in GTA San Andreas also vary; regular Campers may either feature no curtains and no seating in the rear compartment, or 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.

GTA V

In GTA V, the Camper appears as a motorhome. It is manufactured by Brute and built upon the same chassis as the Ambulance.

Performance

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.

In GTA V, despite being built upon the same chassis as the Ambulance, Tourbus and Rental Shuttle Bus, all of which are rear-wheel drive, the Camper uses a front-wheel drive layout.

Variants

The Mothership

The Mothership is a variant of the Camper in GTA San Andreas owned by the marijuana-growing hippie The Truth. The only difference between the Mothership and the Camper vans is the unique psychedelic hippie paintjob. When it is first introduced in the mission "Are You Going to San Fierro?", The Truth mentions that the engine block is held together from a macramé hammock and it runs on 15-year-old cooking oil. The Mothership's numberplate reads "EREHTTUO" which is simply the phrase out there written backwards (a clear double pun from the saying "The Truth is Out There").

The Mothership appears only during the missions "Are You Going to San Fierro?" , "Black Project and "Riot", otherwise it is not found anywhere else in the game. In addition, the van does not have its own index number and internal name, making the Mothership difficult to obtain using conventional trainers. Garages are also notorious for not saving paintjobs so there is a chance of losing the paintjob if saved in a garage. To ensure the Mothership retains its paintjob, the player must save the van in a garage which adjoining safehouse will not be used to save games; the player will have to use another safehouse.

Khaki brown Camper

A unique GTA San Andreas Camper with khaki brown paintwork is obtainable during mission "Jizzy". The van is made available when the player is required to rush to the bottom of a highway intersection near Foster Valley to rescue one of Jizzy B.'s prostitutes from two abusive clients. The van, parked close to all three individuals, can easily be taken and stored in a garage, to which point the player may either choose to complete the mission or fail it.

Unlike the Mothership, the khaki brown Camper will retain its body color as it doesn't utilize texture-based paintjobs. The combination of colors on the van may vary between each attempt in the mission, including a red-brown-black design or a brown-white design, but generally adopts brown in all its combination.

Of interesting note is that the van's lights will remain on during the mission as long as the player doesn't store it in the garage, regardless of time and weather.

Trivia

Sometimes, the Camper will have a black, yellow, and red paintjob, thus resembling the German flag where the Volkswagen Type 2 was made.
The Camper in GTA San Andreas plays the radio station K-JAH Radio West by default when entered.

Locations

In GTA London, the Camper is commonplace in street traffic, and hence is more easily available to the player to commandeer.

In GTA San Andreas, however, it is rarely encountered on streets, although it has some spawning points across San Andreas, such as the summit of Mount Chiliad or it sometimes is parked in the Gant Bridge visiting center. It also has a spawn location behind the SubUrban outlet in Hashbury. It can also be seen occasionally in and around Hashbury, San Fierro, due to the district's "hippie" lifestyle, as well as Ganton, Los Santos. The Camper may also be imported at the Import/Export crane at Easter Basin, San Fierro.

Garages are notorious for not saving paintjobs, so saving it in a garage will eventually cause it to lose its paintjob. To keep the mothership's paintjob, just simply store it in it's own garage, and whatever garage you store it in dont save at that Safehouse, otherwise the garage will eat the paintjob.

 === Khaki brown Camper ===
-<!--Broken grammar all over. Needs urgent proofreading.-->
+A unique GTA San Andreas Camper with khaki brown paintwork is obtainable during mission "[[Jizzy (mission)|Jizzy]]". The van is made available when the player is required to rush to the bottom of a highway intersection near [[Foster Valley]] to rescue one of [[Jizzy B.|Jizzy B.'s]] prostitutes from two abusive clients. The van, parked close to all three individuals, can easily be taken and stored in a garage, to which point the player may either choose to complete the mission or fail it.
-A Khaki Camper is avalible to the player in GTA San Andreas, namely in the mission "[[Jizzy]]". once you get up the point to where you have to save Jizzy's Girl you should see the Girls Camper, parked nearby, simply take the camper store it in a garage, and either complete the mission or fail it. Now there is Different colors, but in the same mission, the camper could have Brown and red, brown and black , or just brown and white. This is not like the mothership, this particular camper does not have a special paintjob, just special colors, so dont worry about it losing it's Paintjob, and becoming Plain White. Also if the player takes the camper in the mission and does not store it in a garage then the Lights will remain on, regardless of the time and weather.

+Unlike the Mothership, the khaki brown Camper will retain its body color as it doesn't utilize texture-based paintjobs. The combination of colors on the van may vary between each attempt in the mission, including a red-brown-black design or a brown-white design, but generally adopts brown in all its combination.
