Rumor anyway.  The smaller made-in-Turkey Ford Transit Connect has been a
success here (has same engine that the Bostig conversion uses).  Here is
what (bankrupt) Westfalia is doing with the larger Transit in Europe in case
you have not seen it:
http://westfalia-ford.co.uk/elevated%20roof/index.html  This sells for about
�50,000 in the UK or $78,000.  That includes significant VATs.  Both the van
and conversions would have to be made/done in the US (or Mexico) to be
reasonably priced.  Maybe Sportsmobile will step up.

At 16� in length it�s almost 7� shorter than the 22.6� Sprinter 2500!  The
US needs a modern small camper van again for the thousands who don�t want a
motorhome, including my kids.  I hope someone figures this out.
