Adds the Berkley Freerider (VW Campervan) to traffic, appearing naturally around New Bordeaux in a variety of colours.
Because it's not the 1960's without hippy vans!

The Berkley Freerider will replace the Griffin Rancho GT in traffic.
Why replace the Rancho GT? Because there is no way to add new traffic vehicles unfortunately.
Also because the Rancho is a basic panel van that looks very similar to the Bulworth Freight, so won't be missed.
The Griffin Borneo Sport in Lincolns fleet is a better version of it anyway if you really want it.

As an extra optional bonus feature this mod allows you to remove the 'Fresh Milk' text from the side of the Bulworth Freight.
So that not every single one (even the station wagon variants) is seemingly an 'Empire City' milk truck anymore.

Installation instructions:

Place files in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia III\sds_retail\cars

shubert_truck_covered.sds - Replaces the Rancho with the Freerider (for some reason the rancho is called the shubert truck in the games files)
shubert_compact.sds - (Optional) Removes the 'Fresh Milk' text from the side of the Bulworth Freight so that New Bordeaux no longer has an oversupply of milk.
shubert_truck_covered-OLD - This is just a backup if you decide you want the Rancho GT back, remove the -OLD bit and replace the modded one to get the Rancho back.

Interesting bit of trivia, the Berkley Freerider did appear in traffic in the beta versions of the game, it can be seen in older gameplay previews and is still in the background of a couple cutscenes. But they removed it to instead use as a reward for completing one of the DLCs. This means it can easily be added to traffic as it's already set up to be a traffic vehicle. I experimented with other fleet exclusive vehicles and they aren't so simple to add, they always appear in the same colour for example.
