Ed,

Since they only had one which I was interested in and no other dealers
I have spoken to expect any others anytime soon I have to keep the
source secret until I decide to buy or not buy the camper. They did
not have the weekender there.

If you look at www.kbb.com it shows a markup of $3,000 on the eurovan
and another $800 or so on the weekender option.  So there should be
more room to negotiate.

Remember there are things you lose with the camper as well.  You no
longer get an option of what color or interior you want, you lose the
alloy wheels for hubcap covered steel wheels, only have seeting for 2
in the back seat, lose the heated seats option, and drive around in a
van thats much heavier and about 1.5' longer.

Both front seats swivel.  I didn't measure the distance between the
armrests but it looked like about a foot to me.  There is no rear a/c
but there is a rear fan.

BTW, I have brochures they gave me for both the van and the camper.
I'd be happy to copy them and mail/fax them to you.
