yup. it's true. ads have started appearing in the motorhome magazines.
there are TWO versions: one for vw, and one for winnebago. the 'bago model
is called the Riata and lists for nearly $40,000. the vw model is called
the Eurovan Camper, and lists for around $30,000. shower and toilet are in
the 'bago model. pool is extra cost option. :)

>I'm willing to chalk it all up to a bad dream.

well ... at least they are trying. :)  i actually got a fold-out poster-
brochure in the mail from winnebago, and someone said they had gotten
some stuff from vw. has anybody seen one on the lot yet? (we don't have
much of a vw dealer here, much less a winnebago dealer).
