Westfalia-Werke doesn't have a site on the internet, that I could find, but there are several references to it: Interesting reference to California, re: Westfalia-werke's contract with VW to build the campers: <http://hem2.passagen.se/vwnetz/vwdata.htm> (scroll down about 1/3 of the page, or search for "California") This company used to be part of Westfalia-Werke but split off: <http://www.westfalia-trailer.de/html/frames/frames_site/ueberuns_index.html> Here's news (1999) that DC acquired a stake in Westfalia-Werke: <http://www.daimlerchrysler.at/index_e.htm?/news/top/1999/t90510_e.htm> This looks like it might be the company?: :-) <http://www.westfaliasurge.com/index.php3> Dave -- Dave Carpenter Whatever you wish for me, May you have twice as much.
