Class B motor homes based on the Chevy chassis or Sprinter Chassis.
The VW is considered a Class B Motorhome.
Just search Class B and it will show most all that is out there.
I do like sprinters since I have an 2003. Still amazed at 21.8 Miles
to the gallon City driving.
All in good fun.
But I still keep my westy alive with the 2.0L Bostig conversion, I
like it still over all of the others, But everyone has a sickness for
something or another.
