Subject:      storage for Vanagon stuff

If you are looking for someplace to store your Vanagon stuff, and have room to put it, look into used containers. You know, those big steel boxes that you see on train flatcars and that are used to load cargo on ships. You can get them used for a few hundred bucks. I just got one that is 20' by 8' by 8', and made of really tough steel. It weighs 5000 pounds, and is rated to hold 75000 pounds of stuff. The whole end opens up. Too narrow for a garage, but still really weatherproof and quite secure storage. If you put a good, concealed shank padlock or four on it, it would take some real work to break in. Kind of neat to store my stuff in a box that has been all over the world.
