<html><body><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#000000; font-size:10pt;"><div>In 1980 I used my '78 Vanagon to move from Michigan to California. My upright piano just fit along the driver's side with the back seat out and stored inside along with all my worldly possessions. My girlfriend was copilot and her English Setter rode in his kennel up high behind the passenger's seat. A converted boat trailer carried camping gear and my '75 Honda Goldwing motorcycle. Only had to use first gear once crossing the Rockies. Finally let this dependable friend go with 280,000 miles when I purchased my '90 Multivan.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Greg in San Diego</div><div>'91 Syncro Camper<br></div>

20 80-pound bags of concrete for a porch steps project hauled home in my Westy, with the other 10 riding home in the Mopar minivan.<br>

I hauled 1500 lbs of plaster from<br>
ANCHORAGE, AK through the mountains to<br>
KENAI, AK in my '85 GL. Didn't go fast, but was steady.<br>
SMILES!<br>
