  Karl is right about this.   If you are positioned so that any light from a
passing vehicle will be reflected back to them by our reflectors...It is the
same as putting up a billboard saying  "Hey, Over here!"   Vanagon's don't
have especially prominent reflectors, but it is worth a thought.  Maybe dirt
on them will diminish the shine, but not completely.

  My SO hauls a horse trailer with the Semi-truck reflective tape on
it....Now that stuff really stands out...visible at night from about a mile
away, and with a very wide reflective angle...Not something I would put on
my van if I planned on camping.
