Patty,
I have the yellow top under the driver's seat and a red top under the
passenger seat, on it's side, in every Vanagon I have.  (Too many is the
answer).  I swear by them.  There are some specialized batteries that fit
and work well but put out a huge amount if power but you can buy an Optima
at any Discount Auto, Autozone, etc. For about $200 on sale.  They put out
enough to turn over diesel trucks so I'm sure the Vanagon isn't stressing
it.
  You will have to check with other Westy owners IF you have seats that
pivot.  Not sure on those clearance issues as everyone I own is damn
tin-top.

Good luck,
TJ

Has anyone used this battery

I believe it fits under the driver seat perfectly if laid on its side.
There is a huge difference in prices from retailer to retailer.
