We own a 95 Eurovan Camper (since 1998) and I will vouch for it.

The good:
The 95 is the last year with the 5 cylinder. The following years have the 6
cylinder, about 6 mpg less out of that engine. We get 20-24 mpg in the mtns
with the AC on. The 95 also seemed to have the automatic transmission issues
worked out from 93-94 models. The engine has been bulletproof... no problems
with it at all in 97000 miles. The transmission has also been great. All the
camping gear works great.

The bad:
I had to replace the pop-top due to a symmetrical crack across the entire
thing... 1700 bucks from Winnebago. They refused to help out warranty wise
as I thought it was manufacturer defect. Tires are almost impossible to find
for it. You can find the proper tire but it always has to be ordered. I have
had re-occurring problems with the AC, leak somewhere that is hard to trace.
Also it is not adequate enough but suffices (I live in Phoenix so my opinion
is skewed a little). It is slightly underpowered but never drops below 45
mph on the biggest of grades.

All in all if you want a camper (and it doesn't have to be a Vanagon model)
I highly recommend the 1995 Eurovan Camper.
