Carl,

Canadians got the Westfalia Eurovan camper in the 92-93 model years.
This was in the short wheel base only.
We had three models to choose from, Weekender, passenger van and a cargo van
conversion.
There were several interesting options, such as a Turbo Diesel engine and a
Webasto coolant heating system.
We also got several other interesting VWs that were not imported into the
U.S.
They were Golf  CL , Jetta CL, Passat G60 Syncro, and the Eurovan
Double-Cab.
Sadly all this came to an end when VW of Canada was dissolved in 1993.
Since then we have had to deal with VWof A who are S.O.B.s to deal with!!!
"They do there level best to not to help you and be a pain in the ..."
These are the words of the sales manager of our local dealership.

Cheers
Glen
