Absolutely! The ability of Vanagons to go where no motor homes dare to go..That is the best. If you are forced into close proximity to a motor home herd you had better have a motor home your ownself. Then you can go inside and shut out the other motor homes...

Not something most other camp vehicles can do with ease.. Don Hanson On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 8:30 AM, Bob Stevens <mtbiker62@gmail.com> wrote: > ...
