They're an outfit that specializes in reselling westys to suckers,
from what I can tell. I first saw them while stuck in traffic on I-10
going from Los angeles to Phoenix. They're basically a fenced-in lot
next to the highway on the outskirts of civilization in Redlands, CA.
They claim to be the "largest dealer in VW campers" in the US, and say
60% of their vehicles are bought sight unseen. Of course, their
inventory appears to be more Eurovan than Vanagon. When a company's
web site doesn't give you their physical address, doesn't list any
prices, and doesn't seem to have a section of recommendations from
satisfied customers (like, say, Go Westy does), I'm suspicious. They
probably buy 'em cheap, wash 'em up real nice,  Armor-All and Turtle
Wax 'em good, and turn around and sell them for $14,000.
