The tubes shown on the German EBay site are rather cool looking.  I'm sure
somebody handy enough could make one (or two) on their own.

Bus Boys in Redding, CA already makes the Side Step for the Vanagon - has
been for the past 15 years.  I have run one on my Westy for a number of
years until it was stolen after I removed it to do some underbody work and
stupidly left it outside for someone to walk off with.  Oh well, maybe
someday I'll buy another.
