The Vanagon will float very well with all the windows are closed. It has
201 cubic feet of water displacement. Makes a very nice buoy, shall I
say? :-)

Sure seem like the "flow" of the water in this pic would have easily
swept the westy off her feet.

It does not take much to make a vehicle float off its traction and get
swept down stream.

IMHO this pic is SCARY and a possible fake based on how the sides of the
van dont even look wet.
