I seem to remember an old issue of the LiMBO (Late Model Bus Organization)
publication "The Transporter" had instruction on how to make a Vanagon into a
house/hut for ice fishing. To accomodate this function it had two holes in the
floor, probably about 12" X12". The holes had "plugs" or caps for when not
being used for ice fishing.

Anyway, possibly someone has this old issue and it may offer some tips on
cutting part of the floor away.

(And while it may sound like I'm kidding, I'm not. Those who are LIMBO
members may remember the issue. )

I have not made the alteration as I don't need access through the floor to
ice holes. I just let the ice holes in through the doors, the same way everyone
else comes in.

And FWIW, I'm jealous of those of you with furances in, or soon to be in your
bus. Good luck with the installation.
