How to exercise while camping?  Ugh!  I can't
believe this.  Okay here's what you do:

1) Bring a 2 ton jack, wheel chocks and jack stands.
2) Place the jack at one of the jack points and jack
   up the van/camper.
3) Lower the jack and jack up the van again.  Do
   this 3 to 5 times (reps) or however high you
   can count.  Be sure to change pumping arms each
   time your start pumping.
4) After you lower the jack the last time move to
   the next jack point and repeat.
5) After you've gone around the van three or four
   times grab a 1/2 inch socket wrench with 42MM
   sockett and put it on one of the rear wheel bolts
   and start removing the bolt without a cheater bar
   or pipe.  Once you get the bolt off.  Put it back
   on and tighten it to 250 ft. lbs.  Again, don't
   use a cheater bar!!  Do this 10 times each wheel.
6) Don't forget to breathe.
7) Now go jogging down the nearest trail for 5 miles
8) Jog back 5 miles to your van.  Cross training,
   ya know....
9) Drink some water.  Don't chug-a-lug.
10). Go back to #1.  Start again....
11) Extra points if you this with other vans at
    VW get together...
