Funny you should mention this, I saw a Multivan Joker, or a GL Camper as
it is known in the US, the other day. It was white/white, but the thing
I noticed was the side windows... They were brown plastic units (like in
camper trailers and RVs), and those in the slider and opposite were
popouts, like rear windows on hatchbacks! Only difference were that they
were hinged at top, with latches at bottom. I couldn't take a close look
at it, it was in the middle of traffic, and I was on the opposite
sidewalk. I don't know if this was a Westfalia option or where they came
from, but they would sure give good ventilation, and dry in rain, even.
Anybody know what I'm talking about??
