        Interesting...I always wondered why a decent copy of a VW camper
        couldn't be created in a BigThree van body.

        The 'frig is two-way electric...generator (and other electrical
        conveniences) optional.

        Too bad you can't just buy the following (as a "Conversion Van"):

        =>Color Matched Lightweight Composite
          Super Flat Pop-Top Roof,Gas Spring Strut Assisted, Fire &
          Mildew Resistant Canvas Fitted With
          Screened Windows
        =>Fold Up Upholstered Double Bunk At Roof Level
        =>Large 3 Seat Convert-A-Bed With harness And Lap Belts
        =>Driver & Passenger Captain Chairs
        =>2 Stow-Away Tables

        But ripping off the "Westy" moniker...SHEESH!
