Thanks Steve.  If your definition of "early Vanagons" includes non-power
steering models, I ordered the Wheelskins "BX" size for my 87 Westy
Weekender with manual steering and its larger steering wheel.  It was a very
tight fit and I struggled at first but I was finally able to get it on after
heating it up in the clothes dryer.






If I wasn't so determined (stubborn) I would have called them and ask about
buying a slightly larger one for the manual steering Vanagon wheel.  It was
a bit stressful trying to get it to fit and I thought it might tear at any
moment.  It did not and it looks and feels fantastic.






I also love mine and highly recommend the Wheelskins products. AND the
EuroCamper web site.

We are a Wheelskins dealer, and offer all the colors and options on our
website:






http://secure.mycart.net/catalogs/catalog.asp?prodid=5191611






I don't have the measurements for the early Vanagon steering wheels, but
it's easy to measure and you can call us to order.






Wheelskins can be made to order and shipped direct from the factory.  They
usually ship the same day by Priority Mail.  I have their covers in all of
my vehicles and love them.

I second this but how far is "far, far away" for the average squirrel?






Mr. Squirrel's home tree is in Bend OR and Wheelskins home office is about


500 miles away in Berkeley CA.  Perhaps he's a flying squirrel and this


would be an easy morning trip?  Back in the tree by noon, wheel wrapped by


2?






For ground squirrels their web site says:






"Call Wheelskins at 1 800 755-2128, 8:30AM to 4:00PM Pacific Time, or E-mail


info@wheelskins.com with your telephone area code. You can also enter the


key word Wheelskins into your internet search engine to find a website that


sells Wheelskins products."
