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
