We went to our favourite camping spot at Sharbot Lake Provincial Park, 110 km/70 miles west of Ottawa, and saw three T3 Westies and one T4 conversion over the weekend (the T4 conversion had a poptop from a T2 and a homemade interior!).  One of the T3s had a pair of ocean kayaks on the roof - longer than the van - and a loaded bike rack on the hatch.


Oh, and one sad abandoned Vanagon in a farm yard west of Perth.

I’ve seen 1 Westy on RTE 1 in Marshfield , 1 Sprinter camper with Euro plates in Machias and today I saw 1 Westy in Eastport. On similar trips in years past I’ve seen many more.
