They should be the ones feeling absurd. Lets see them take that RV to a
local store because they forgot something (without major difficulty), think
about how much more gas they have to pay for, and then there is the fact
that you could buy three Westy's at Go Westy prices and still have spent
less on your rig than they did on theirs - oh and speaking of price - I'm
sure your Westy doesn't have a 30 year mortgage on it.

My dad has one of those beasts - and while I can see their draw in some ways
-  they have no charm, chracter, or utility. They are a separate entity and
I don't really think they can be compared equally to a Westy. Apples and
Oranges....

And while I'm at it what is up with all those swoops and stuff that Don
mentioned? I mean the last thing I think of when I see an RV is the Ocean or
waves or whatever....At least old time RVs and campers had Pine tress and
Bears and stuff on them - at least that somewhat represented "camping".
