heard some guys will leave curtains open and sleep on floor, as to not draw attention of anybody even in the van. I've looked at my floor and don't know if I could do it. Use open brown shopping bags up against the window on the westy counter top to block one side. Have always wanted to try staying at a small marina. Other boaters bring big r.v.'s there--at least I think they have a boat. Should be easy w/ westy chris c el grouppo del autobus pilotos

> Living in the Westy, I've learned not to pop the top, but rather move stuff around and sleep on the bottom with all the curtains closed when utilizing the free camping spots available in the urban landscape. I try to find a dark place to park that is unsigned, or at least signed by some unlikely-to-enforce authority, such as the railroad. Actually, the right of way along RR tracks is an excellent prospect. I try not to wear a place out, as locals will put up with a night, sometimes even a few days, but they don't want you as a fixture of the neighborhood. > Anyone else got any urban camping tips? > > The Trundler > '82 Westy > '87 Westy > > > > _______________________________________________ > > |
