Ahem.  Well actually, Westfalia was the group that modified the Vanagons to
become "Campers."  But apparently Westfalia also played a part in the
Carats/Wolfsburgs (I dunno, the table and bed?).  Thus the Wesfalia-Werke
badging.  Technically, there was no Vanagon officially called "Westfalia."
But it is commonly accepted that the factory Vanagon Campers (modified by
Westfalia) are known as "Westfalias."  The Carats/Wolfsburgs have never been
considered such.

Sorry your getting picked on.  That Vanagon for sale, whatever it's called,
is cool.
