This is a VW thing, not a specific camper thing. You should really ask your VW dealer, they would know. Or as tileman73 suggested try halfords

I'd just use any power steering (ATF) fluid of the same colour (normally red).

I don't think there's much choice anyway. For technical advice, I'd steer clear of Halfords, they often don't know which way is up.

Just take your chassis number to your nearest VW van centre & they will tell you & sell you some.

why don't you try automatic transmission fluid thats meets dexron 2(aqm) that is reconmended by peugeot . peugeot pride them self on the oils they use. I worked at a nissan garage and their version was more watery than the peugeot  oil. I used comma version in my wifes peugeot and in my vauxhall .

Is there more than one sort of fluid to choose from? If I go into my local factor, he just asks what colour is it?
