Boy that thing looks rough, the one you can get free.
I'm biased toward Westy poptops and Adventurewagon high tops.
I'd hold out for one of those.
Either one will sure increase the value of your vanagon.

re 'sleeping up there'  - I don't. I just like the extra room and extra
value a westy poptop or AW high top roof gives you.
