Now here’s something you don’t see every day! This is a 1965 Volkswagen bug that’s been converted into a micro camper. It looks a lot like a teardrop camper shape-wise, and the interior is just large enough for a twin-sized custom mattress and a 10-inch TV.
In the trunk, Sergio (the builder) included an entire kitchen — sink, cooktop, coffee maker, and tiny toaster oven. It’s adorable. There’s a luggage rack on the top and on the front a Tiffany blue storage area. It couldn’t be cuter! The most extreme minimalist might even be able to live in. What do you think?

Oooo I just have to say it —— This is AS CUTE AS A BUG!!!! As a teardrop style camper its pretty perfect, but as year ‘round living, I couldn’t do it in any teardrop I’m afraid. You would have to do more living outdoors than I am able or want to do. But its certainly cute as a bug!! Congrats to the visionary who conceived it. Oh and I LOVE that doggone doggie camper!
