Subject:Re: Q: Non-camper Westfalia Interiors
From:Timothy Hannink
Date:Wed, 11 Sep 2002 10:08:00 -0700

The non-camper US models that I personally have seen
that have had a Westfalia badged seating package would
include 1987 1/2 and up Wolfsburg Edition badged
Vanagon GL's and Carats.

My guess is that the Westfalia interiors/conversions
made to non-camper models were done at the VW factory
with the interior packages being designed and labeled
(and possibly built and supplied) by Westfalia. I
can't see VW spending the money to ship all of those
vehicles out of house to complete just the interiors.

The camper models (Camper, Camper GL and Multivan)
were all converted at Westfalia due to the extra labor
involved including the installation of the pop-top,
air conditioning equipment (if needed) and associated
cabinetry.

So could any van with a Westfalia badge be considered
a "Westy"? Or does it have to have a pop-top? Or
built-in appliances?

"Westy"?

Westfalia install all of the passenger van interiors,
or just the later models with club car seating
(Wolfsburg and Carat packages)?  Or what?

(GL models)?  Does anyone know?  I suspect that this
is the case.
