| Post a picture of your bus. That would probably be the easiest way to tell you what type of camper conversion you have. |

Yeah, PooMaster welcome to the world of VW. This is one of the best places I have been to get help for my bus.
If you can get a picture of your bus or a good description of its exterior. Are the vents on the back kinda square or nice and round, is their a hatch to the engine inside the bus or just the one on the back.
It may be a Dormobile with the kind of roof you mentioned, but Im not sure. Take a look through the gallery.  |

| Sounds like riv. to me. Pops straight up? Fibreglass is a little taller than a westie? Tent isn't canvas, but a plastic type material? That'd be a riviera. Jeremy |

| Its always possible somebody cut a hole in the roof of a passenger van, and bolted a riv. top onto it. Jeremy |

Well, I've seen pictures of vanagon westies with the extra middle seats, and I saw one at our local show this weekend with a jumpseat, but I haven't seen a bay with middle seats, just a jump seat in early bays. Jeremy
I'd ask your VIN, but if its a conversion it wouldn't matter anyways. |
