I believe the reason behind the thread (since I started it) is for YOU to
define camping and how the Westy works for you.

What does "actual camping" mean?  No hookups?  Not in an urban area?
Sleeping in a tent?  Out in the boondocks?  In a place where you can be
visible in your van and not worry about being hassled?

Just wondering!

When full-timing, access to the world is very useful - for me that means
email, for others TV or electric or showers or whatever.  But when
full-timing there is no "I could stay home and do that" because I AM home.
