I think you will be sleeping in the van while it is parked at body shop.

Well, I got rear ended this morning. The back end is totally smashed in. I can't open the rear door, so I dont know if the engine got screw up or not. It drove, so I didn't have it towed. I guess I'll have to get it fixed up by someone here in town (Salt Lake City)

So, I'm also hoping that I can get the insurance company to pay for a nice rental car. I've been sleeping in the rear bed of my van for almost 6 months now. Does anyone think I have a chance of getting a rental car/van with some sort of bed/camping equiptment? How should I go about trying?

Any other advice?

On the bright side, I accidentally smashed up my rear bumper a few years ago and haven't had the money to fix it up. So, now I guess it will get fixed. And, at least the other guys 4-runner got a broken radiator and he couldn't drive off. I guess he ruined his day pretty good too, but he probably doesn't need to sleep in his car.
