I find it useful to have someone finally be able to compare
the Westfalia to the Winnebago;  I last looked at a new Westy
some years ago; here is some additional info:

1. I was turned off by the floor-to-ceiling carpeting in the
Westy:  hard to keep clean, gathers dust, smells after a while,
cann't just get in with dirty boots and wipe the floor later.
I must admit that after 18 mos of owning a 95 Eurobago, the inside
upholstery is starting to have an odor in warm weather; wonder
how many other owners are bothered by it.

2. I thought the european models are available only in the
standard length, not the extended 131 in wheelbase sold in N. America

3. for several years now prices and exchange rates have made
it impractical to buy and import from Germany
