That's the worrying thing I guess. I think many would be.

There's a pic and write up on Facebook with two Mk2 Capri rear ends welded together to make a camper trailer. Looks good.

If their trashed but usable why not. The rear of the white one looks ok. Meet that to another rear the same and you have a motor home for dwarfs. Capris can do anything. No offence to dwarfs by the way.

How about a Capri fifth wheeler. Old body on top of fifth wheeler trailer coupled to the top of your road going Capri. Like this but with an actual Capri top on the trailer. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bA7-Y7eqNw8# or search VW fifth wheeler on YouTube.
