Is it worth it. Hi Gary, I suggest you take a look at westfalia tops from '74 or later busses. You'll recognize them easily: the roof rack is in front. The advantage is that the bed under the pop top sleeps 2 instead of 1. I don't know about installation, but there was a thread on this topic very recently (last week or so). You may want to check the gopher archives. (gopher halfdan.med.umn.edu/Miscellaneous/Vanagon/) Also: isn't the 79 bus an inch or so wider than the 68-78 ones? Sami -- dakhlia@wuecona.wustl.edu
