BenT,

There is only one official Winkler dealer in the USA.  Vanagon Projekt over
in Livermore.  Funny thing is that he mostly imports Winkler's Audi stuff.

I had an in-depth conversion with Herr Winkler last time I was in Germany
about importing his T3 items into the USA.  He informed me that he was
unable to sell to anyone in the USA due to his agreement with the Vanagon
Projekt.  Apparently, the guy at Vanagon Projekt is a long time friend and
they've been doing business for over 20 years.

I did figure out a way to order Winkler items without compromising his
exclusive deal but have yet to place any significant orders.

Cheers,

Jeff

Brien,

IIRC Winkler, a German company (aka Das Kraftwerk) still makes the
larger tank. Pricey though. They knocked-off lots of Oettinger parts
for the T3 (aka Vanagon).

Check listee Ken Wilford's site at vanagain.com. He is a Winkler dealer.
