Hi Mike,

You may want to have a look at:

        http://www.vw-nutzfahrzeuge.de/uk/index1.html

Select 'Camper and Leisure Vehicles'.

The 'California Exclusive' is probably the closest thing to our canadian
EuroVan Camper: 2 beds, stove, fridge, sink. Additionally, it has a toilet
and a washbasin (amongst other things).

The 'Multivan with Elevating Roof' is simply a EuroVan with 2 beds -- one
is in the familiar poptop.  Looks like a westy, not a westy!
