One catalog is 284 pages and the other is 160 pages, full of all sorts of Vanagon and EV camping interiors (mostly EV), roof/bumper/hatch racks (including Paulchen), popout and sliding windows, fridges, stoves, etc, and of course those neat tents. If the quality is anything near that of Westfalia, we're in for a treat if there's a way for it to come into the US market. For now, it's enough to browse the catalogs and drool. The catalogs are in German, but for those of us masochists who love looking at things we can't have (including the very nice Mercedes van), it's pretty unbeatable stuff. I didn't think there was anything that could make me more envious than not being able to import a late model Land Rover that I could have bought for a song and dance while my wife was going to school in the UK, this comes close. Scott >> Scott, and all the list. I still have a few of these catalogs left for sale. I had a bunch of them shipped over with my tent. I'm asking $7 ($10 US to Canada) for the camping accessories catalog and throwing the conversion catalog in for free, while they last. I estimated that my cost to buy and ship these is over $7, so I'm not making any money on them. Even though they are in German, they are great to look at. I still haven't heard from those elusive Germans at Reimo. They are supposed to fax me if they are comming next week, and I haven't heard anything yet from them. I doubt that Reimo has plans to import any Westy type campers into the US. They will most likely do camping conversions here on US available models. I believe that the VW T4 (Eurovan) is the only chassis they convert that is available in a US equipped version. I doubt that VW would sell Reimo these, but you never know.
