Volkswagen T25 / T3 Autohomes Karisma (Mark 2) Camper Model History
Circa 1984 Autohomes introduced the latest version of the T25 / T3 Volkswagen Autohomes Karisma. This was an updated and improved version of the Autohomes Karisma Mark 1 and it was officially called the Autohomes Karisma Mark 2 although generally it was just called the Authomes Karisma. As with the Mark 1 version it was a 2 berth camper with hightop roof. The interior had cupboards along the side behind the drivers seat and the rear seat converted into a 3/4 width double bed. The hightop roof had extra storage cupboards built in. The improvements over the Autohomes Karisma Mark 1 included restyled high top roof with opening high level windows and doors on the rear roof storage area, new soft furnishings, mains electric hook up with earth leakage circuit breaker, 12 volt socket, enamelled cooker and sink with a hinged glass top over the cooker, separate drainer, simplified and strengthened conversion of the rear sear to a double bed, centre leg table, cutlery draw, larger vanity unit with mirror, water gauge, special wheel trims and a large (approx 2 cubic foot) Electrolux RM212 fridge (gas, electric, 12 volt) with freezer compartment and electronic ignition. The Karisma MK2 was essentially the same as the Autohomes Kameo MK2 model but with a much better specification. This version of the Autohomes Karisma was fitted with VW water cooled engines.
