Dave,  I saw you mention BC in your post.  Check www.buysell.com  
That's our local (Vancouver) free ad paper which comes out every 
Thursday.  The ads are updated on the web every Friday, and you can 
do a complete word search in about 30 seconds.  A real deluxe search 
system IMHO.  Don't forget to search 'Westfalia' or 'Westphalia' if 
you're looking for a camper.
