Subject:Vanagon Storage

Hey all, long time no write, but I've been reading!  A little license snafoo
had left me and the vanagon from driving around for awhile, but we're back.
For the moment.  Which leads to my storage question:
I'm putting the van in my folks barn for about 6 months and I would love to
hear any suggestions you all have for minimizing the toll it will take on the
van just sitting.  I have to take it off the road so no plates mean no driving
it every two weeks to keep the juices flowing.  I can of course start it, and
intend to a couple of times a month.  I also thought I might get it off it's
feet and put it up on jackstands.  Sound reasonable?  Any other suggestions?
Maybe fill it up with gas all the way so I minimize the rusting in the tank?
Things like that?

I appreciate it y'all...
