Saw a few of those attached to "Splittie" Buses at the recent Bugs & Buses
Invade The Village Show in Bakersfield, CA this past weekend.  Generally a
"vintage" item for the earlier crowd and can't pack as much as I would like
as I do in my 4x6 "Baby" enclosed wooden/steel frame trailer I haul behind
my Westy.  Not sure if the crappy thin bumpers of a Vanagon could handle the
weight and strain.  Splittie and Bay Window Bumpers are a bit beefier for
this type of trailer.  One was for sale, but ya better have a very DEEP
wallet.  No longer being made AFAIK.
