I don't think the standard Vanagon (as opposed to the Weekender/Camper) has the billets in the rear roof for the big hinges on the poptop. You want a Weekender, not a camper? I'm in Vancouver, WA and monitor both PDX and Sea papers for Westies and Weekenders. Weekenders are rare, but I do see them. I'll notify you next time that happens. Stuart |
