By far the best solution for Westfalia owners would be
honeycomb-and-panel-aluminium sandwich material for the
cabinets.  Combine that with a carbon fiber and kevlar composite
pop-top and we've got ourselves a very expensive winner.


As an enthusiast bicyclist I always wonder about the folks
who'll spend hundreds of dollars to reduce the weight of their
bike by one or two pounds while the spare tire around their
waist is not getting any smaller. :-)
