Hi Karen,

Try www.vwn.de. It's the official site of Volkswagen's Trucks and Vans division,
and the last time I looked at it, it had an English version too. You can check
out the current Eurovan Westfalias (called California in Europe), and check the
availability of second-hand ones at German official VW dealers. What country were
you thinking of buying your camper in? And would you be buying new or used?
