    David Eccles

    David Eccles and his wife Cee first got into VW Campers back in 1976 when they took a 1967 Canterbury Pitt to India and back. Two years later they bought a 1966 original-condition Devon Spaceway camper, which they used and owned right up to 2010. David has been editor of VW Camper and Commercial magazine since 2001 and is well known in the bus scene for his knowledge and passion for the VW Bus in all its forms.
