To everyone on the list, there's a wonderfull company that provides all the
Thule and Yakima racks and other types off items available for  vanagons and
all other cars. There's a lot of neat stuff. Like step ladders that hook on
the tires so you can reach to the top of the roof and do what ever you need to
do. The neatest thing I found is on the car tent section. It's like a Westy
pop top but smaller. It's mounts on top of the roof, sleeps two on a huge bed.
They call it the "High gear top bunk". Check the web site and you'll see what
I mean.  www.sportsrack.com            Michael M. 87 syncro.
