ASI campers were made in vancouver WA.  they were contracted thru a
Washington state VW dealer called Riviera Motors - so the camper conversion
was also sometimes called a Riviera camper.  ASI stands for Automotive
Services Inc.   they were in business from the mid '70's to the mid '80's.
they were known for their straight-up poptops, and ultra cheezy interior
(lotsa fake wood and ugly polyester coverings - very '70's) you may be able
to find more info in the archives.
