waoo is great, I love the Volkwagen trucks I have one that I am restoring and modifying, it is not camper but I modified it for a food truck. I'm from Venezuela, it's hard to get things here, I leave you a link if you want to know about it, good luck and God will accompany you along the way.
I knew this publication thanks to @acydyo the reesteem.

What a beauty! I love the old ones, but for our purpose I decided a new one would be more suited. And your engine fire shows why. That's actually the second one I hear of in a short time.
Hope you made some progress with fixing it already - what a pity!
As I'm my own personal God, I'll always be accompanied. At least until dementia strikes. Thanks for the good wishes anyway ;)
I go little by little with its repair, in Venezuela it is not easy to have 500 dollars to repair the car, the priority is food and education of children. your choice of a modern volkwagen camper is right.
