I think the vanagon would have worked if he'd used an outboard motor
and done a better job sealing up the leaks. The water looked like it
was coming in from the front, my guess is the ventilation system or
where the emergency brake penetrates the floor.

I guess my question is: If you were going to make a vanagon
watertight, below the window line, what would you have to seal up?
