If this is the "GTRV" van conversion company of Burnaby, BC, I have seen
their Aerostar and Caravan conversions.
Both were done on the long wheelbase cargo van and both seemed noticeably
smaller than the vanagon westfalia.  Both had pop tops just like the
westfalia.
As far as fit, finish and "look" of the interior, all I can say is that they
looked similar to any other American conversion van.
If you have seen an American conversion van (or motorhome), you know what I
mean.  I'm not saying its good or bad, just a matter of taste.  As far as
design and layout, not as good as the westfalia or Reimo in my opinion.
