saw this today. talked to the guy that owns the rig. he fabricated the rear bumper and carriers. would love something like that for the Vanagon.
Turbo Diesel 5 speed from Japan. he says it gets about 20mpg.man it is a nice rig. of course I did not get his name or number to see if he would be interested in fabricating one for me.

oddly enough I was looking for a way to mount a Jerry can to my van at the time. I was thinking of a boat gas tank on the roof rack.but they are to spendy. I like the idea of this one. flat to spread the weight out,but talk about spendy!!

Looks just like the ATV fuel paks, no rack required, fit in the luggage rack:

Cheaper on Craigslist
Gerry Lee makes all kinds of Vanagon racks & holders. Expensive but worth every penny:
