Many of us, myself included have posted comments lately re: the shortage of vanagon sightings while on the road. I’m just completing a three week tour of coastal Maine from Rockland to the Canadian border and back. I saw very few busses or vans until last Thursday when I hit the jackpot! About the only time I pay for a campground site is for a Westy/Vanagon gathering; I made an exception la Thursday night and stayed at Lemoine State Park in Lemoine, Maine. I’d just set up for the night when a delightful woman stoped by to say hello and let me know that she was also traveling in a VW. Almost immediately she asked why we, North Americans, always refer to our vans as Westfalias when they are made by VW and Westfalia only builds the interiors. Turns out she is German and had her ’92 shipped over here from Germany for a three month wander about the U.S. and a bit of western Canada. She informed me that I was the fourth VW bus/van she’d seen in the park. The next day I counted two more bringing the total to six! The most VW busses/vans I’ve ever seen in one day other than at Busses By The Buoy, Bus Fusion or some similar event. Later in the day I met another Westy (an ’82 diesel) bringing the total to seven.
It was a a great trip, I’m glad I brought my bike and kayak. I paddled with he whales and seals and biked some beautiful back roads. 
I love my westy!
