Hi Karen,

Try www.vwn.de. It's the official site of Volkswagen's Trucks and Vans division,
and the last time I looked at it, it had an English version too. You can check
out the current Eurovan Westfalias (called California in Europe), and check the
availability of second-hand ones at German official VW dealers. What country were
you thinking of buying your camper in? And would you be buying new or used?

90 Vanagon Atlantic TD
84 Westfalia Joker D (for sale)
