Eric, buddy...

I completely disagree with you.  I've been driving a
Westfalia camper as a daily driver since 1999.   I've
done year around camping in both a 73' and my current
85' Westy with no issue.  Of course, this is personal
preference and there are those folks that don't like
to wake up to adverse weather and I respect that.

My personal spin is that it's when you stop using a
machine that if starts to rot.  Continual use within
the scope of it's engineering and continual
maintenance to sustain it's function, that's what I do
and the thought of pickling my rig just because it's a
bit cold or damp is just wrong :-)

Two cents and then some,
Brian from Salem, Or
Wetwesty and general goofball

"Barbara,
    Campers like motor homes are not good candidates
for
daily driver vehicle.  Camping for most people is just
to
cold in most state, and I can't imagine that Montana
is
any different.  So there are many people how store
there
Compers for the winter.
                                           Eric
P.S.    If you like to camp in Montana in the winter
          you've got meet you...."
