I would have to argue  it's a bus with the  engine in the back  and sitting
over top of the front wheels. Vans are really cool, don't get  me wrong, but
they have all that shag carpet and velvet that you don't get in a  bus.

Having said that, what will the stubborn old timer purists (and when I  say
purists I mean the guys wearing three coats inside their loafs in the  winter)
say when I refer to my Westfalia as a "CAMPMOBILE"?

I have half a mind to get one of those foil "campmobile" stickers from
GoWesty that were stuck to the counter inside the old loaf campers.

AND, Unfortuantely I don't know who currently stocks the MICROBUS emblems,
but I agree you have to get one. The Value of my bus went up, up, up when I got
 mine. It also works on a non-VW afficianado who says that's not a "bus". You
can  just point at the emblem real off-handedly, "No, it is."

Best,
