You may want to consult the archives way back around, oh, the 1995-97 period. There used to be a place in Bellingham, WA that did Westy rentals, not sure if they're still around. I believe there was some discussion of them on the list several years ago. Sorry I cannot remember the name at this point. A web search may pick up something, dunno.

In the Vancouver BC area, Westmister Volkswagen used to do westy rentals, and I assume they still do it. Ah, now that I look them up in the phone book, I see they have a separate line for "Westmister VW Camper Rentals" at (604) 461-5000. They have a web site, and a search will turn up the URL. I *believe* they now rent only Urine^H^H^H^HEurovans, probably the winnebago conversions. Ask them and clarify, however.

These are the only two places I'm aware of off the top of my head.
