the jack is made by hi lift

http://www.hi-lift.com/

you need an adapter to use this with a vanagon unless there is a hack i
don't know about.  i have one but have yet to use it with my vanagon
because i have not yet made an adapter.  i believe if you subscribe to the
synco yahoo list there should be photos of both the jack and the adapter
there.  in the mean time here is a primer on adapters and such.

i believe one of the problems of in the field use is the tall piece of the
jack scraping the side of the van.
