In the 1960's Martin Walter converted mainly 109 LWB station wagons into compact 4 berth campers, and they continued into the early 1970's before demand tailed off. They were never cheap: A Station Wagon was one of the dearer options and the addition of a raising roof, sink, cooker, wardrobe and the ingenious Dormatic seats all added to the cost. Around 800 were made but many went overseas. With the roof raised there is around 8 feet of headroom, two windows in the roof and an opening vent to let air in and also the two bunk berths that fold out for sleeping. The Dormatic seats fold flat for sleeping eitheras two single beds or adjusted to make a double bed. Some of the optional extras included an exterior sun visor, roof rack, air conditioning, a toilet and a fridge.
