Subject:dimensions of 2WD Westy
From:Keith Adams
Date:Tue, 27 Feb 2001 12:46:00 -0700

I'm jotting down ideas for my garage to be built in the
spring and I am trying to work within the limits the city
gives me and yet maximize space.  A big help would be to
know the following:

Length of a Vanagon (bumper to bumper)
Width (overall and width at/of poptop would help)
Height of a 2WD non-Carat Westy WITH TOP UP (I think the
consensus was that they are about 6'10" tall when closed).

I just want to see if I can design this unit in such a way
that I can have a garage in which I'll have room to put the
top up (for airing out in the winter, etc.).

Also (while I'm at it) if anyone has any good advise or
pictures, etc. on a small garage (20'x24' MAX) with a crawl
space/attic where the overall height of the garage doesn't
exceed 15 feet (peak height) I would like to hear/see about
it.

Thanks,
