Since the original doubleback discussion was stale, I started a new thread...
Because VW chose not to import its newest (in 2002) 5th generation van to the USA and Canada, (Mexico gets imported commercial & passenger versions) chances that we'd ever encounter a Doubleback are slim to none, and of course it would be illegal to own one unless you want to wait 25 years. <G>
VW produces its campers in house these days, and the unit isn't exactly cheap, even in its home market. I just priced it out and according to the German websitete, $43,000 for a basic popup and $72,000 for the full camper. And that's the models' basic power trains without options and VAT.
I guess we're gonna hang onto our '89 Westy &'66 Kombi for the time being. (skipped a generation)
