Not picking on Dave (well maybe I am), but this van never saw the
inside of the Westfalia factory. I guess it's a pet peeve of mine that
folk often use the term Westfalia  interchangably with camper. Dave's
van looks to be a well done camper conversion, and appears (as he
stated) to have used some parts from a real Westfalia conversion.

But it's not a Westfalia. (Might be better in some respects).
