Volkswagen T4 Transporter Autohomes Koncord Camper Model History
Circa 1990 Volkswagen phased out the rear engined T25 / T3 Transporter. The replacement for the T25 was the front engined T4 Transporter. Autohomes used the new T4 Transporter as the base vehicle for a new model called the Autohomes Koncord Camper released circa 1992. The interior had kitchen and cupboards along the side behind the drivers seat and the rear seat converted into a 3/4 width double bed. The Autohomes Koncord had a hightop roof which had a fold out bed inside (making it a four berth) and a tailgate ladder leading to a rear roof rack. At the same time Autohomes released a similar model called the Kompact. The Autohomes Kompact had a lower profile hightop roof and internally had a storage locker at the rear instead of the roof bed (making it a two berth). It also had a tailgate ladder leading to an external rear roof locker with a fibreglass lid.
