Products accidentally made for Vanagons...

I’ll start with one. The Cambridge Soundworks OontZ 3XL Bluetooth speaker.
It fits perfectly inbetween the defroster vents on top of the dash, the design angle is perfect to sit there and take the unused space between the windshield and dash (lose the hula girl). The 4 audio loudspeakers are poised to dump sound to your ears.
Enjoy the tip.

More to come.

The next one is not the one I use but maybe better. “Saunders 00213 Storage Clipboard”. It fits and jams perfectly under my drivers seat. Not fully in but trusty to not move during transport. One way to clean out the glove box. You can reach underneath your legs and grab the important stuff.

Enjoy people.

Hula girls.

You can have mine when you pull them (both) from my cold dead hands.

Cabela's Deluxe Tent Cot Double

This is a marvel. A fold out shelter with a steel frame floor that stands a foot off the ground, it is designed to sleep 2 in any kind of weather you can throw at it. 4 screened openings, 2 entrances, a skylight, separate rain fly that stays on it to fold/unfold, 2 cupholders and an awning you can pitch over each door if desired. Pull it out of the Van, and it takes about 4 minutes to open, toss in your sleeping bags and lay down under a steel framed roof.

We use it as a roof top tent primarily, or on the ground when we don't want to be on the ground. The designers clearly had the Vanagon's cargo area in mind. With the rear seats up, it fits so perfectly back there that it seems more than coincidence. Fast way to sleep 4 in a tintop. It needs the full width of the cargo area, so only tintops have the space.

Laughably, I just discovered a week ago that it also fits in the cargo area of our 944. Perfectly. Trying to talk my wife into a banzai Fall run up to Banff or Jasper.

A wooden Velveeta cheese box fits nicely behind the driver's seat and holds our maps and trip log.

i have my seat rammed back against the stove and still want 2 more inches of leg room. i'm jealous of everyone that stowes stuff behind their seat.

but to contribute to this thread, Atwood Marine folding cup holders perfectly replicate the OEM rear fold down cup holders.

These hanging closet organizers are really handy for managing the typical disorder of the Westy closet.

The MB hub nut is a direct bolt on to the stock Vanagon spindle. I’ll try a search for the part no.
