I'm a new and proud owner of a 87 Vanagon (still unnamed) and I must
admit I really enjoy it. I've been monitoring silently this mailing list
for a while now and I think I'm ready for my first post. :-)

Summer is not even here yet and I'm already planning how I'll store my
van for winter. Early you say? Maybe, but it was all triggered by a sale
at Canadian Tire this week. They have the 2-tons axle stands on sale a
10$CDN (about 25 cents US) each, until tomorrow. I was thinking of
putting my van on four of these for next winter (the van will stay in my
garage).

Does anybody know if these  2-ton axle stands are enough for a Vanagon
or if I should go for the 3-tons or even 6-tons axle stands? Or if there
is a better solution?

Details about those stands can be found at:

Thanks in advance
