	Vern, I believe the resale value for the late model Camper GLs
	stayed high after the last unit was imported in '91 was due to:

	-No replacement in '92, '93 or '94 model years.

	-The unique position of the VW Camper in the marketplace.

	-The high cost of the '95 EuroBago camper along with the
	 perceived drawbacks of the EuroVan.

	-The romance attached to the rear-engined beast. 

The west-coast versions of Kelleys BlueBook and the yellow NADA book lists
the Camper high. I don't know about the east coast.......

The people that paid me $21K considered the EuroBago, but opted for a Vanagon
due to lower cost and romance, I believe.
