Hi Kate,

Before you spend $15 for a VIN, give this company a call in Germany. The #
for Germany is 01149 and the full phone#. Could make it for less than $5.

Not sure of the origin although the auto dealership sticker in the
rear window is from a German dealership and it has many German
autoclub stickers along the pop-top:

Part of us wonders if the van was originally sold in Germany?!?!  Any
idea how we would find out this kind of info??  Would a CarFax search
on the VIN tell us more?  I've thought about shelling out the $15 or
so to run the VIN, but wasn't sure what that would tell us...
