I would love to have a diesel EV Camper.  What I would really, really
     love is the long wheelbase Winnebago EV Camper with a TDI.  Being a
     4X4 would be an extra added feature.  Unfortunately I don't think
     diesel EVs will ever be sold in the USA.  But, I wonder...

     Diesels are real popular in Canada.  I wonder if any EV diesel campers
     are available in Canada.  Since Canadian vehicle requirements are very
     similar to those in the USA, having a vehicle available in Canada
     would mean that VW had satisfied the vehicle requirements for North
     America.  It should be possible to import such a Canadian vehicle into
     the USA.

     Considering the German EV TDI, I wonder if air conditioning is an
     option?  Hopefully, the TDI would have enough power for air
     conditioning.

I saw the pictures and the description, looks great, but I didn't see any
referrence to the TDI or even Turbo diesel, just the 5cyl. diesel.
Are we sure this was really a TDI?

>>>
At least the price-sheet said so, and with 102 HP it really should be one !!!
<<<

Do we know if  it is a long wheelbase or short?

>>>
The one one the pic is short wheelbase, as far as I know syncro is possible
with long wb as well
<<<

I'd really like to see a TDI or even a Turbo diesel in long wheelbase as a
Transporter or an MV.

Also could you post the URL of the VW German page?
