FLAME ON!         heh heh
No, seriously, I'd have to agree with sentiment there, but not the specific
wording. I got a '90 non-westy because all I really needed for camping was
the rear convert-a-bed dealy. I already have my own propane stove and
cooler, and I prefer a larger bed to the cabinets. If I want to stand up, I
go outside. Even the lowly base model like my '90 is an immense improvement
over tent camping in a Honda Civic (ugh). I'd modify your pronouncement to
"without the intent to camp", myself.
