OK- Here's the hot alternative that non-Vanagons owners currently use and have been for decades.. Get yourself a nice Honda X-Terra or similar SUV,(or go retro and buy a old International Carryall) go down to REI. On sale now is the GSI Gourmet camp kitchen. That takes the place of the Westy kitchen. Next, several lounge lizard folding chairs, Coleman rechargeable flourescent lanterns, Sportsman's Choice Iron Mountain Cot, and throw it all in your Eureka! Northern Lodge 8. A Coleman stove, Black heater and 5 gallon water containers complete the picture. Now you are as happy as you ever were in your Westy, maybe more. Because your new SUV is ten years of trouble free driving (*not*). Problem solved! No need to worry about future non-westy camper blues. Robert K 1982 Westy (still without the Zodi shower) |
