Gotta love that one!
I remember toe-straps too.
I had the Yakima 'artificial rain gutters' and rack on my Westy poptop when
I bought the van so the damage had been done, and while I'm taller than
most, mounting bikes on the top of a Westy puts them into the stratosphere.
Mounting the rack behind the Vanagon makes the most sense for reasons that
Pensioner described.
I was also admiring this setup on this site though:

Has anyone else used this setup with success? I now have a non-Westy Wolfy,
so I was considering mounting the top bar to the rain gutter at the roof
line for added security.
