I certainly can't speak for Bell Industries, but Felder Enterprises would not be satisfied with the imprint of a VW logo. We would want the outline image of a Vanagon, or possibly, for the German market, a safety admonishment like the one on the Westy dash: " Fahren nur mit verriegelten nach!"

The word "nur" reminds me of a joke I heard when I worked in Holland. The Dutch symbol in the oval, whatever those are called (hey, I don't read much, you know) is NL, for Netherlands. The Germans say that it stands for Nur Links, or "Only Left," as their slow cars and campers are notorious left-lane cloggers on the Autobahn.
