I lucked out on finding a cover for ours at a local Pep Auto Trak
Advance Zone type place. It was in the discount bin because someone
returned it and they couldn't fit it back in the box, so it was a
crumpled heap of blue Sunbrella(tm), but the box was taped to it. It
took up most of the discount bin, and some of the surrounding floor
space.

It is a universal jobberdoo, in the largest size this company made, what
they called (on the box) "Size F-- for full Size vans". Other sizes were
A-E. Then it listed some examples of full sized vans: Ford Aerostat,
Chrysler Caravan (extended), etc. Vanagon wasn't in the  heap, but they
were only asking $29 for this $99 car cover, so I gave it a whorl.

Guess what? It fits like a $29 car cover from the cut-bin at an auto
superstore! Fits great around the back of the van, WAY too short around
the sides (we have a Westy), and like OJ's gloves around the front. But
it keeps the dust off when the van is in the garage, which is most of
the time.

Hey!

I have been looking for a winter cover for the Vanagon. Of course you
will never go to Walmart and find a box with a Vanagon pictured on it
saying "...perfect for Vanagons" so I wondered if any of you took a
chance on a boat cover or something else you might have tried that works
good. It's getting cold over here...

Thanks,
Lee
