ken...my gues would be that they buy them from VW like a dealer does, 
then do their conversion on that...probably to a standard base model..
then, its Country Homes who is selling it, and it is not an authorized VW 
conversion, like the winny is ...could bwonge...:)

its early i ought to go the bed.........

351am........sleed time!
