I've used a gallon Anti-freeze jug for the same. Helps.

Since the Vanagon sits pretty high, I found my brother-in-law's creeper worked
well for me.  It has a head (the thing on your shoulders, not VW tool XYZ 1234
to support the cylinder head :-) rest already attached.  Saves the backs of my
old sweatshirts and keeps oily gravel out of my hair.  I put one on my
Christmas list.
