Interesting. I ordered a few of these from my suppliers, in different brands, both locking and nonlocking. While I sell a German replacement locking gas cap for only $15, I'm certainly not adverse to selling a better or alternative product. But the caps I received have a much, much smaller outside diameter than a Vanagon gas cap, and while they do latch on, they look somewhat odd to me on the Vanagon - like they're too small.
