I think I like the Vanagon configuration better, since it leaves more
floor space open, but it does make the vehicle a bit heavy on the left
side.

My '75 was an awkward year because it had the split interior, like the
'74, but with a sliding door.  When the door was closed, the handle was in
that awkward little space between the door and the refrigerator, which
made it hard to open or close the door from the inside.
