Just got back from the RV show at the Expo center here in Portland. Maybe I'm biased but there really is no other vehicle/trailer/camper that ha= s a more efficient use of space than the Westfalia Vanagon. I wanted to see the layouts of the Mercedes/Sprinter motorhomes as I conside= r that one of the closer comparable vehicles but most layouts are terrible. = Being somewhat new to camping I also wanted to look inside some of the examp= les we have seen at the state parks in Oregon. I'm still in awe with the lux= ury of some of the larger examples especially 5th wheel trailers! The closest Vanagon comparison was one GMC van pop-top conversion camper tha= t seemed to copy the layout of our westy's exactly! Fold down rear seat, 3 w= ay fridge, 2 burner propane stove and sink. The fold out pop-top didn't seem= as high but still had room for 2 to sleep up top. It also had a small micro= wave oven beside the fridge (under where our rear swing out table is) which = would be very useful. Price for this 2013 was $69,000!!! John.
