Ron,
Two things come to mind. The Vanagon has a near 50-50 weight
distribution, whereas your bus is tail heavy. Throw four 100lb bags of
sand in the back of the Vanagon, and you'll have better traction.
Secondly, "Vanaru" indicates your may have a Subaru engine in the engine
room. That extra torque will make it much easier to spin the tires on
any surface. Try a little lighter throttle!
