I wish them the best of luck, of course, but this strikes me as a classic case 
where the vehicle's 80-ish-mile range is an overwhelming obstacle. Almost by 
definition, camping involves cross-country travel. Maybe it's different in 
Europe...but I grew up in Northern California and I still drive the exact same 
'68 VW Westfalia Mom and Dad had at the time. And we took it camping. And I 
can't think of a single trip that we took that would have been within this 
vehicle's range. Worse, we would sometimes camp places farther from an 
electrical outlet than this vehicle could reach, let alone farther than the 
midpoint of its range.

But, again, maybe there's a market for it in Europe.
