RE: DORMOBILES

maybe the brits would be better able to comment on Martin Walker (i.e. Dormobiles), but I beleive Dormobiles were also kitted out on British marques as well. So to answer your question, i don't think the term Dormobile would be unique to VW's.

BTW I prefer refeering to campers made by VW as "Westfalia's", if in fact they were in fact made by Westfalia Werke. Campmobile sounds like a cheesy salesman's pitch. Can you imagine shelling out 38K (the going price for the new Eurovans) for a vehicle called a "campmobile"? It sounds like the sort of thing that the Partridge family would drive in! The only thing they could do to make the name worse would be to call it a "Kampmobile" IMHO!

pass the aeresol cheese spread please :) :)
