I can tell you that I've sat through a viscous storm on the north shore of Lake Superior and was nice and dry. The wind was blowing so hard that I could barely face into it when I walked to the edge of the water. The vehicle felt more stable then I used to feel in my father's 1971 Lionel Crank-Up Camper during a storm. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM] On Behalf Of Clay Moore Sent: May 23, 2002 00:01 To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: living in a westy or weekender for a few months while travelling I'd be interested in hearing how folks fare on extended traveling trips in these vehicles. things like : Cooking and cleaning dishes with these tiny kitchens ? do you use supplemental equipment ? portable toilets ? Showers ? do you use a portable setup or stop someplace that has showers ? Cold... do you use some kind of portable heat or just dress warmly ? Sitting through storms with the top up... ? the canvas doesnt look water proof.. ? is it ? Tents, how many folks use tents along the side for this stuff ? any thing related to these issues would be appreciated. |
