Juli,

The aerodynamics of the top are a consideration. In my case I haven't
encountered any problems with my Adventurewagen compared to my former same year
Westfalia. Since all vans have larger surface areas it's a good idea to exercise
more caution (or awareness) when driving through windy areas or when
encountering the slipstream of a large truck. And when I say caution I'm not
talking about slow speed, where permitted I drive in the 65-75 mph range.
