That's cool!  I continue to be amazed at all the goodies available for our
Vanagons.

Years ago there were side tanks available from South Africa. The tanks fit
between the frame rail and the side of the van, on either side underneath.
These were stainless steel and could be used for either fuel or water, 10+
gallons.  Recently a guy in South Africa started making them again as well
as some slightly different ones for people who want more capacity and a more
practical shape. There was a group buy kind of deal on the Syncro list
several months ago. The guy has access to some ship containers that come to
the US with other stuff in them but with some room left for these to go as
well to economize on shipping costs.
Since they arrived in a container meant for another business separate
arrangements need to be made to pick them up and that is what is happening
here. I don't know if the guy is still taking orders or not. I got mine!
