My Buddy and I did a tape measure compare between his '93 EV MV and my '91
Westy.

Approximately same overall length.  Close to the same width.

Big deal was the ~18" differnce in floor space when the bed was down.
That's where the front engine takes a bite.

Of course the EV has more rear storage room ...

Your correct about that, also I forgot the the Camper version is longer than
the weekender or other Eurovans. We have the Camper version thus it is
longer. If you compare a weekender to a Vanagon I bet the Vanagon would be
longer.
