Hi Richard,

You bet they do. I have owned one for about 15 months now and think it's the
greatest thing since the cure for toe nail fungus. It's called the EV MV
Weekender and comes with a pop-top, folding table, curtains, rear
compartment lights, rear seat bed, sliding side windows with screens, and a
small cooler beneath the mid-row passenger seat on the driver's side. The
conversion was done by Westphalia. They were only brought into this country
in '93.

They are rather hard to find since they were only imported one year and I
recall reading that only 2,500 Weekenders were shipped. They come in two
colors: white and kind of a striking aqua-green. The green ones are even
harder to find. Mine is white as are almost every other one I've seen on the
road.

It is a great van and I can't say enough good things about it. It is without
a doubt the best vehicle I've ever been in for long-distance treks.

Did I tell you I really like this car? Well, I do. They should get one. They
won't regret it.

Jeff
