The van is comfy and efficient, equipped with 4WD, a queensize bed and a side awning. It is well suited for dry camping in the Nat'l Forests. Not nearly as ostentatious as a giant luxury motorhome but it beats the hell out of trying to set up a tent camp in the rain at night... <br /><br />=TW=Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-78341491425913076622017-08-12T06:38:47.929-05:002017-08-12T06:38:47.929-05:00I don't think of this as camping, which I equa...I don't think of this as camping, which I equate with roughing it. However, if the nature they want to relax in isn't being torn asunder by this, then my opinion of it doesn't mean anything.

Now, I don't know if that means that they aren't autocratic leftist morons, (I mean, they are from New York, even if the "western" part) but it (if true) at least suggests that they aren't actually *afraid* of nature. It's still kinda silly, but at least they don't seem to think it's the same thing as *actual* camping...Bibliotheca Servarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11643412827583261562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-85904831011164815752017-08-11T20:18:24.445-05:002017-08-11T20:18:24.445-05:00You wouldn't want to stagger out half-awake in...You wouldn't want to stagger out half-awake in the morning and fall over the balcony.

Not really competing with old-school camping at all, except maybe as a gateway drug to get you hooked before moving on to the hard stuff.Javaheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922782424313956036noreply@blogger.com
