When I was  a kid, back in the sixties, my father managed a VW dealer. When they were sold out of Westfalia's they would try to sell their customers domestic campers as these could be delivered in a couple weeks, Westfalia's took months. My dad and I  would drive a Deluxe bus to Goshen Indiana , and in a day they would convert them into campers for us. The company was Sportsmobile. They are still around.

Pick your van !
