My vanagon is our band's gigmobile. I play a bass in a 3 piece band. We have either 2 ukuleles and bass ,or 1 guitar, 1 uke, and bass. It depends on the song. The vanagon easily hauls all our stuff and us including the PA system.It beats the heck out of using an open pick up truck especially during winter rains. Brad Handzel Fender Jazz Bass '89 GL
