They're not, I'd say.  Remember,  Daimler/Chrysler now owns 49% of
Westfalia.  I'd wager that over the long run they'll focus their camper
conversion efforts on Daimler's vans rather than Volkswagens, and probably
mainly for the European market.  A 49% stake in a company gives you a lot of
influence.
