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.
