Chris...when you are there (I won't be since I'm about six thousand miles or
so away from fla), see if they have a M*rc*d*s B*nz westfalia camper called
the Marco Polo and/or a 4WD M*rc*d*s camper called the James Cook.
Apparently the later even has a bathroom!  If you are not familiar with the
vehicles, I think  they are made for the european market, but not sold here
in the states.  I'd love to see both of them sometime or at least talk to
someone who has.

I know this is a VW list, but has anyone seen these beasts?  And are they
cool or what?  The Marco Polo looks quite like the Eurovan... it's very
attractive and comes with several different 4 and 5 cylinder gas and deisel
engines... but no 4WD unfortunately.  The James Cook is very strange looking
outside and very space agey on the inside... it comes in 4WD and is quite a
bit larger.  I know they are expensive... after all they are MB's, but I can
always dream can't I?

I was sent full color brochures on the campers from Moby Campers in
Switzerland... a rental and sales place... unfortunately they are not in
English!

Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
