I Might Have Van Envy

Here we have a German Camper by Westfalia NOT made by Volkswagen, but named after a famous explorer and cartographer.

These James Cook campers seem to have quite the following on the interwebs, but it’s not clear whether any officially made it to the US.  It’s definitely a cool rig, though the extra height and fixed-roof nature mean you won’t go through drive-throughs.  Pop over to Poland and drive this bad boy back to North America!  I’ll keep Oddimotive Mobile HQ…

In case it wasn’t tall enough, they added a little AC unit on top.

Rear luggage storage is pretty cool, but must eliminate sleeping for one more person.

Cab is decidedly more truckish than a Vanagon’s.

Gated shifter! Too bad it’s an AT.

As a Westfalia owner, I find the theme pretty familiar here.
