Yes Craig from what I understand older ones named Campmobile and 67 were called Sportmobile. Here is a thread from the Samba with some pics of my interior including sticker with name Campmobile. I got rid of my fridge to make room and easier access to rear.

From your samba post , your bus does not have the "panel" vents. I see yours is also a non walk thru. Was your bus a Kombi conversion? I could not see a pic of passenger side to see how many windows you had.

Mine was a panel conversion as you can see the vents

I at one time owned that entire camper interior pictured in the samba thread above by swervyjoe..

he wrecked that camper and I bought the entire interior for like 150 bucks and drove down to Greensboro and picked it up with my dad...I was going to use it in my 57 panel...then I ended up selling Mike Womack for his campmobile that only had a partial interior...so it got drug back to Greensboro and put in a turkis camper just like yours...thats now slammed on its nuts...

By the way....Joe ended up repairing his camper after the wreck and it now has what was left of mikes camper interior in it if that makes any sense at all...

It was a really cool kit for sure...I always liked the built in toilet!

Craig, mine was a panel conversion too. They made some panels without vents.
Brad, I have not had much luck getting my wife and kids to go for that built in toilet. Rest areas and campground facilities are a way better idea. :lol:

I always thought the vents were in the non walk thru and the non vents were in the walk thru.

apparently not, :)

A bench seat bus with M Code 116 will not have vents.
