I have a Westy and a DoKa.  They're both V'gon based, and might even be
V'gons.  I used to have a bus; actually, I've had two; a '62 and an '84.
The '84 was a V'gon, too (sorry, Scott).

I"ve had folks from the East (US) call them all trucks.  My cousin in ID
calls the Westy a "rig".  I tend to call the DoKa a truck when not around VW
folk, and if I don't feel like explaining it (the plate is DOKA, so I get
asked anyway).  When talking to family, I call the Westy a van (like calling
the DoKa a truck, it's easier).

I've never gotten into the T designations - don't even know which is which
(don't tell me, I don't much care and won't remember).  People who do (you
know who you are and I love all of you) are the same folks who rattle off
all of their lens' technical specifications but can't take a decent photo.

Ah well, that's all from here.  If I've offended anyone, sorry.

short comment ..
I defenitly don't think Vanagons should be called  a 'Bus'
