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> <blockquote id="replyBlockquote" webmail="1" style="border-left: 2px solid blue; margin-left: 8px; padding-left: 8px; font-size:10pt; color:black; font-family:verdana;"> <div id="wmQuoteWrapper"> -------- Original Message --------<br> Subject: Re: I love Vanagons<br> From: Stephen Grisanti &lt;<a href="mailto:bike2vcu@YAHOO.COM">bike2vcu@YAHOO.COM</a>&gt;<br> Date: Sat, December 06, 2014 8:55 am<br> To: <a href="mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM">vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM</a><br> <br> 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> <br> Stephen<br> --------------------------------------------<br> On Sat, 12/6/14, John Rodgers &lt;<a href="mailto:jrodgers113@GMAIL.COM">jrodgers113@GMAIL.COM</a>&gt; wrote:<br> <br> Subject: Re: I love Vanagons<br> To: <a href="mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM">vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM</a><br> Date: Saturday, December 6, 2014, 9:45 AM<br> <br> I hauled 1500 lbs of plaster from<br> ANCHORAGE, AK through the mountains to<br> KENAI, AK in my '85 GL.
