If anyone is interested in the Deheler-Profi conversion,
there is one somewhere in the Eugene, Oregon area
in a junkyard. But I don't know which junkyard;
otherwise, I would tell the list.
The Deheler-Profi conversion came with a real
neat gas camping forced-air heater. A friend
took the heater out of that one in Eugene.
I would ask him the name of the junkyard,
but he's out-of-the-country for awhile.
The original Deheler high top vanagon was a
conversion for ambulances, which later was
adapted for campers.
In Germany, it's considered the top-of-the-line
vanagon camper.
