FREE Collapsible Spouts
Here's a nice little FREE tip for you! I can't count the number of empty Blue DEF boxes I've seen next to gas station trash cans. Once people top off their trucks, they leave them next to the trash can to be thrown away by the gas station attendants. These things seem to be all over the place. I'm sure you've noticed them around as well and if you haven't, I am positive you'll pay attention to them now.

Deck Lid Safety Reflective Tape
As a Vanagon owner of nearly 7 years now I can easily say breakdowns happen. My worst fear is breaking down on the side of the road at night. I'm always looking for ways to make such a breakdown as safe as possible for me and for other drivers on the roadway.

Rear Table Mod
Ever since I purchased my 1987 Vanagon Westfalia 3 years ago I've always hated camping/traveling with either of my front or rear stock tables. They always seem to get in the way and the rear long table made it difficult to open the rear vertical closet door. On my next road trip, I need access to a table top so I can edit photos and blog while on the road so it got me to reevaluate my table situation.
