What the  heck is a multivan any way??? I have a carat, just a black map
pocket.., [and  honestly I'd rather store something else here.., its hard to stick
your  fingers into it to get a map.., if you left you door open in the rain
the maps  would get wet.., I might just remove mine, or put in slotted wood so
I can  store pens.., Staedtler Triplus Ball pens in black ink are probably the
best  stick pens in the world today..,]

Anyway, I have seen a sticker on my  van calling it a multivan, but the
moniker on the rear says Carat..,

CARATS are CARATS and MULTIVANS are  MULTIVANS.  Not the same at all.  I have
a '90 CARAT, see my SIG  file.  Multivan, has pop-top, rear bench/bed, closet
in rear with big fold  down door, pop-up table, one rear facing jump seat
behind the driver, 12v top  loading fridge behind the passenger seat, and extra
long grey map pocket on  drivers door.  Maybe other features but that's all I
remember at the  moment.  And, I was not trying to sell you this map pocket.
Just  giving some information that I discovered.
