Interesting that some knock-off brands of "The Club" don't fit the vanagon's
big steering wheel.  I bought a MasterLock brand one at Wal-Mart and had to
return it b/c it wouldn't extend far enough.

I also had the type that tightens up on the brake or clutch pedal and the
other end goes around the steering wheel.  But it was low quality and looked
like a hack saw could cut right throught it.

After my storage trailer and all the storage trailers at my Public Storage
were broken into (except the ones with the high quality locks), I bought
"The Club" for my van.  The $10 bucks I saved on my trailer lock cost me
$1000 in stuff.  I also put in a fuel shut off switch in a secret spot so
when I am parked at a trailhead or Mexico or whatever, the van won't start
even if broken into.  It is cool, there is enough fuel for it to start and
then it dies right away and just seems like it is a P.O.S. van.
