Intersting idea...is this a Westy Vanagon?  The reason I ask is that if
one of us were to run across a Westy in the junkyard with a smashed-in
front, it would probably be pretty easy to chop it off just behind the
front doors and "recycle" it as a camping trailer. A bit heavier than
others, but pretty neat.

Pull the engine & tranny and enclose the bottom of the compartment, you
could mount cool stuff like a generator, larger water tanks, etc.

Javier: When you get it done, could you forward me a picture?
