Well, that is a good point. I was miffed as well. I checked their FAQ and it says: 'This FAQ is for the GTRV "Westy" van camper manufactured by West Coast Outfitters dba GTRV of Richmond, Canada.' So it seems they might have a convenient reason to use the Westy name. I know "Westfalia" is copyrighted, but I wonder if the Westfalia company copyrighted "Westy" as well.
