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 is features a narrower body and lower ground clearance.

The '''Mothership''' is a variant of the Camper in GTA San Andreas owned by the marijuana-growing hippie [[The Truth]]. The differences between the Mothership and the other Camper vans are the psychedelic hippie paintjob and, when it is first introduced in the mission [[Are You Going to San Fierro?]], The Truth mentions the fact 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'' flipped around (a clear double pun from the saying "''The Truth'' is ''Out There''"). Another difference is that the peace symbol present on the Camper's hood is missing from the Mothership.

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.

== Locations ==
In GTA San Andreas, it is rarely encountered on streets; however, it has some spawning points across [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], such as the summit of [[Mount Chiliad]] or it sometimes is parked in the [[Gant Bridge]] visiting center. It can be sometimes seen driving around in [[Hashbury]], due to the district's "hippie" lifestyle, and also the Camper can be quite common in [[Ganton]] at the start of San Andreas, but afterwards the vehicle is quite rare.
== 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|K-JAH Radio West]] by default when entered.
