Hi Stuart and others. I’m staying hopeful on both that it will arrive and that it will have a clear relationship to the earlier buses. From what I’ve read the passenger van is coming to the US in late 2023 as a 24 model. So if the passenger van comes why not the camper? They also claim the 2025 will be fully autonomous. Now that I suspect will take a few more years. One article claimed that when the camouflage came off it did look a lot like the original prototype. Fingers crossed it has some spirit in it. But, My vanagon will always be my forever van. Eric Caron Maybe around 230 I’ll have two campers in my world!
