Hello all camping nuts,

Often I see this mails about Westfalias and you US members who like to
import one. You all
knows the Vanagon Westfalia and get knowledge about the following EV
Westfalia. But there
are many, many other manufacturer having greate ideas how to convert an EV
into a camper.
Not only Germany, but there are the most. Yes, it seems not to be possible
to import a vehicle
to US. A few manufacturer offers complete conversion kits to convert your
EV by yourself, or is there
anyone who likes to do the job as professionel? But you will have any
options you like to have:
High roof, pop top, great or small; Seats in three rows, adjustable,
turnable, removable,
foldable; Furniture, fixed or removable, with or w/o wardrobe; Kitchen/sink
in rear or on left/right
side; A small washingroom, if you like to spend the space for it. All you
need is an empty EV,
a container full of parts and hands on the right place.

I'm getting tired reading mails only refering to Westfalia. Is there a
Winnebago driver or any
other US converted camper pilot on the list? What about your experiences on
your vehicle?
Is there nothing else than the Winnebago as a late US EV Camper?

This is not agains the previous mails comparing Winnebago against
Westfalia, but please,
don't forget the others.
