David,
I think most of us simply object to someone trying to use a name that's
linked to a high quality product to further their own sales. Especially
since many of us have that product and wish to keep it special, not have
it linked with a camper that may or may not meet the high standards of
the original. I would hope that perhaps Westfalia Werk might look into
dissuading these people from using the name. (yes, I know it's not a
trademarked name, I said dissuading, not suing) It's just a cheap sales
gimmick, and I hope it backfires on them. I certainly will be letting
that company know how I feel.
