Ditto, but the Westy Weekender table and rear facing seat are where it is at.

But already there have been times I've longed for a Westy stove. On chilly mornings, in need of coffee. I ordered a 12V coffee maker from A.J. Prindle. It was a new model in their catalog and took forever (much longer than the 20-40 minutes that it mentioned in the manual and only then with a lot of jiggling to get it to drip.) and I could have set up the camp stove and percolated a pot in 1/4 of the time. However, I'd still like to start a cup while in the Van. Anyone have the Koolatron model? Is it more reliable? > > > > Don't misunderstand me. I love the Multivan package 99% of the time but it is a trade-off when camping. How about electricity? I've just looped an extention cord out the window when we've had access to it. How do all you 'weekenders' have a more Westy experience? > > > > Debra Clark > > Santee, California > > clark10006@cox.net >
