I've carried a lot of building materials in my Vanagon.  The roof can
carry a foot thickness of plywood.   The volume capacity of the empty
Vanagon is just a wee bit short of what a full size Ford van carries and
much easier to load.  The weirdest load I ever had was 2500 lbs of
cement in my 69 transporter...it's a wonder I didn't blow the tires.
The suspension was virtually bottomed out and steering was a very major
effort.
