To answer my own questions, with help from Coyote and Joel
Walker...

> Length of a Vanagon (bumper to bumper)

15 feet.  But as Joel pointed out, remember to leave space to
open the hatch and walk around.

> Width (overall and width at/of poptop would help)

6'1" or so without mirrors.  I forgot to measure the width of
the poptop.

> Height of a 2WD non-Carat Westy WITH TOP UP (I think the

Right around 10 feet.  It was cold and dark and I was measuring
on snow in my gravel parking spot, so there's a little +/-
error there, but hooking the tape on the front of the flat seal
to the ground was 120 inches.
