	I agree with the C&D guy.

	If I had a need to haul many bipeds and/or stuff, I'd buy a Eurovan
	(Urinevan) MV with the Weekender Package (Poptop, Aux. Battery, 
	little lectric fridge, mid-van table). It fits nicely between the
	campers, both Vanagon & Urinevan, and the cul-de-sac marketed
	Winstars, Caravans, Previas etc..
