Hi All, The 4WD conversion is by *Quigley Manufacturing* and nothing to do with the camper conversion people. You can take ANY ford , dodge or chevy van in to Quigley for the conversion I believe. Price was around $7000. It's a fine looking 4WD conversion too! My neighbors boyfriend has the Ford diesel engined Quigley conversion, very nice indeed, *great* motor, no silly VC joint, (just a BIG manly 4WD lever) uh,uh,uh...... For up here in the frozen north the Quigley 4WD conversion really makes sense. Now if the REAL Westfalia package were available on this base vehicle *for around the same price as the Winny conversion* I know which I'd choose........... BTW, last time we checked the Ford (diesel) van with the Quigley conversion was around $41k, a lot of cash, but a great looking piece of kit :-) I like the thing, sorry to all you German vehicle patriots. Just a pity that most of the US conversions look like they're designed in the Mattel toy factory, and the upholstery is as soft and saggy as the rich buts that can afford the buy into it. Even the REVCON conversion comes with disgustingly soft and way to Laura Ashly looking upholstery and that thing makes the Hummer look positively Japanese by comparison.
