Nice site as is Gary. I got some old Yakima roof/gutter towers from a local
rack shop for $10.00 each and two 6' poles and mounted everything on the
back hatch of my '91 Westy. I use a fork mount and small rear wheel tray and
a front wheel mount. Everything locks onto either the hatch or the poles.
Works great. I can still open the hatch if needed. Like your racks, I like
having the bikes out of the wind and below the roof line so I don't peel
them off if driving into a parking terrace or other low obstruction.

That's me.  I build cargo/bike racks, ladders, gas can carriers, tire
carriers, jack carriers specifically for the vanagon.

I also just finished a carrier that allows you to attach up to 4 bike trays
on the rear hatch.  Will work with your thule or Yakima hardware.  If you
need to carry 4 bikes and don't want to put them on the roof, this is a way
to do it.
I'll have pictures up in a couple of days.
