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.

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.
