EVERY Vanagon would fit that description.

BTW, I might be selling my 91 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile relatively
soon. The prices on that site look to be all over the place.  Do folks
think that an appraisal from GoWesty is worth the money?  They don't
actually inspect your vehicle, of course, just rely on information you
provide.  Mine has 190K plus miles, has been well cared for, has some minor
body dings (how could it not), has an added tencent life oil cooler,
refrigerator removed, still has the waterboxer, does not use oil.  Manual
transmission. New clutch 9 years, 30K miles ago. Replaced the propane tank
3 years ago.  Clean but worn interior.  No rips or tears, just used.  I
have GoWesty insect nets and GoWesty rubber mats.
