There is a chance, so I hear, that VW may start importing the diesel van.
In the meantime, the Sprinter based RV's are commanding my attention. The
damn things aren't cheap, though. They seem to run within 5k of $80k no
matter who does the conversion.

I may be mistaken, but it seems to me that I remember one RV company
(RoadTrek?) that had some models in the 50-60's. We looked at one after we
got ours and it wasn't bad, although the Pleasure-Way's fit and finish is
superior.

It would also be fun --- but a bit of work --- to buy a shell and do the
conversion yourself. It could be done over time, starting with basics so
you can use it right away. I think the shell, depending on size, is very
reasonably priced.
