No, Adventurewagens were produced by (who else?) Adventurewagen out on the
coast of Northern California (Ft Bragg, Ukiah?).  There was a bit of
discussion 3 years ago that Ed Anderson, the retired owner wanted to sell
the molds (Vanagon I believe) for the tops that were in storage in Santa
Rosa, CA.  Gist of it was that by May of 2005, the molds were safe and sound
resting comfortably in a locked indoor storage facility.

Robert H ( male95219@yahoo.com ) apparently is the one who has them and
indicated in his last post to the list that he was looking into reactivating
the tooling and manufacture of them.  Best to contact him if interested.
