I believe on a passenger body. the whole reason why non westfalia campers spung up is because vw didnt deliver enogh campers to dealers in proportion to passenger vans. hence dealers had to find a solution to convert.
if you ever get around to sending me some more info on your ac that would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
florian

Or Either, depending? :o)
