The  weather up here in New England is cooling off, and thoughts are
turning to  winter. My wife and I are thinking of trying some winter
camping in our  Westy. So far I have a set of thermal curtains that I
got from Bus Depot a  while back, a Mr. Heater buddy heater (with a O2
sensor, and also a CO  detector in the van), or a Pelonis ceramic
heater if we can plug in. We  have a couple of zero degree sleeping
bags. I figure we can hang a heavy  blanket to block off the driving
compartment from the back of the van to  keep the area to be heated to
a minimum, and of course we wouldn't be  keeping the poptop up while sleeping.

Besides the above, any  suggestions of other things that we could do
to do some winter camping in  the Westy?

so far.  Waiting to get a GOOD pic to put there.   Meanwhile if you look
through the pics of past _BusFusion_ (http://members.aol.com/BusFusion/bfhome.htm)
 events I'm sure  you will see one or two.
