I have a SURCO rack on my fullsize Mitsu Montero.  It
is sturdy, though not as sturdy as those which are
welded together.  I thought about putting it on my GL,
but I found a WV style which is much smaller.  (Looks
like the ones commonly seen on splitties.)  Mine is
real large (50" * 84") and about 8" deep and made out
of black aluminum.  It has clamps that should allow it
to adjust to any vehicle with drip rails.  (The clamps
can adjust for the width of the vehicle.)

I bought mine from Overlander Outfitters
(www.overlander.com) but the service was terrible.
They forgot to send one of the boxes and it took about
three months to get it fixed.  Whitney has the same
rack, but not in the size I ordered.  (Ok, if you
don't want one seven feet long anyway.)

Curtains:  Zproducts has 'em.  Full kit or add your
own material style. www.zproducts.com, I think.

Steve, do you have a picture of a safari rack mounted
on a vanagon?
