Here's a mod I've started to cover the rooftop luggage storage space on the Westy. The luggage "hole" adds noise and air resistance. Covering it will reduce noise and improve gas mileage a tiny bit. http://www.pbase.com/spacecommander/aero_roof

Ya, the vanagon.com archives have several different iterations of this.
A local friend just cut a piece of plywood that he "latches" in place, using
the bin cleats as the anchors. He uses it a little like an enclosed storage
space, with the tri-purpose of better aerodynamics and noise abatement.
