In the early 1970s a California company built the Super Bugger motorhome on the chassis of the first-generation VW Beetle. Most of the Beetle body was removed, leaving the platform chassis and the classic front look. The model was offered as completed vehicles, kits and construction plans. A later plan for a similar Beetle camper, the VW Minihome, is often confused with the Super Bugger, including by classic-car experts.
