I stopped at a dealership and really checked out the two versions of
campers. Man, what a disappointment. So crowded, so little space, but the
bed must be fully employed at all times, taking up most of the space. Even
the one that had the better arrangement was terrible. Yes, maybe good
engine and stuff, but camper wise it's junky.
If you had a VW Westfalia before, you would never buy one.
