If it was a German market vehicle there should be nothing written in the
door, especially in English.

My German "weekender" with the folding bed, pop up table and rear facing
seats said "TRANSPORTER" on the back.  Transporter was simple a designation
of a commercial vehicle.  I have also been told that there are some body
reinforcements done to all the ones badged TRANSPORTER so they could hold up
to the stress of a commercial environment.  These mods were similar to mods
done to the Syncro 16 models.

Subject: westy transporter difference?

I've got an 86 westy that's had me wondering about
something....There's a Transporter emblem attached on
the back. What's up with that? The p.o. said this van
was bought in Germany and brought over. The inside
door plate says "incomplete vehicle manufactured"
Type: multi purpose passenger vehicle. Is there any
physical difference between this and every other westy
out there? The only thing I've seen that MIGHT be
different is that with 225 55 R 16 tires there's still
plenty of room, and others have posted trouble going
to this size tire.
