If I don't have my Westy I will start with a diesel Mecedes Benz's
Sprinter. No need to do a pop top for standing headroom as it has
sufficient height. It affords a huge floor plan. You can have shower and
bath and all the creature comfort you desire. Better yet it still have
lot of towing capacity while hauling the extra camper weight.

Westfalia builds the Chrysler's Dodge Sprinter RV sold by Airstream
which is called James Cook in Europe.

I was just thinking. seeing how much I love my Westy but don't love the
pre-trip fixes and low power, I was thinking that a Honda Element with a
pop top might be just the perfect urban weekender. With a bed in the
back, and room to stand, that might be a fun little camper.

Anyone have any thoughts for a more reliable Westy alternative?
