    Google for Van covers, dozens of makers come up, you need rough dimensions to see what will fit...plus many companies make them for VW buses and might fit, especially the newer Vanagen models that are similar in size to a 1st/2nd gen van
    Here's the one like shown, they make a nice one and price varies on type of fabric and protection you want.

    and another:
    http://www.californiacovers.com/
    and a 3rd is Covercraft which a few report is a nice fit and reasonable $$
    http://www.covercraft.com/
    I did some searching and they all run $400-600 for the good outdoor fabrics, custom cut for a van. Might be cheaper to rent a garage for 4 months a year! LOL
    As for VCVC you have to request access and be approved, takes a few days, send them a pic of your van too....

    That's my 69 G 10 with the California Car cover , cost approx. $ 400.00 . They only had one pattern , a 66 G 10 , but it fits my 2nd Gen like a glove . They'll add mirror pockets if you give them size and location . I'm happy with the cover . Uncle Ron
