Westfalia is now a subsidiary of Daimler Benz, and their ties to Volkswagen are nowhere near what they once were. VW now designs and builds their own T5 camper in Germany. I would assume that if a U.S. made VW camper ever became a reality, it would be outfitted either by VW themselves or a U.S. company. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
