This is a P22 Canadian (CDN) model Westfalia which is cousin to the USA P27 Deluxe Westfalia with the following additions: non-USA propane stove, BA6 gas heater, fresh air fans, 70A alternator. The front table and the camping stool were not offered in Canada with this model.
What's a Campmobile anyway? It's a VW marketing term for a Westfalia converted camper.
Update: I finally cleaned that stained carpet with 303 Spot Remover. Great stuff: carpet looks like new again.
