Ok, so maybe it's not really low dollar for most people, but I know
some of you have spare Vanagons lying around.

So if you happen to have a spare Vanagon, MIG welder, Sawzall and
some friends to help you can Stretch your Vanagon for under $75 and a
couple weekends of work. ($75 is for the reinforcing steel for the
body, wire crimps for electrical, spray paint for the joint and hose
clamps for the cooling system)

Talk about extra storage space!!  :-)
