I'm glad somebody has said this. I don't mean to be negative, but some folk really want to stuff the poor Vanagon package to an incredible degree. I *try* to think of the van as a tent on wheels.

Most folks that do not make this transition to some degree become disillusioned over time and eventually give up. Woman such as retired teachers and the like are most at risk. Single guys and flexible couples get the best use of these things. Families of four push the limits and as the children become teens the fun disappears. As you try to stuff golf cart batteries under the seats and solar panels on the roof and want heat and air conditioning you are outgrowing the vanagon. Now for the $100K Sprinter based conversions I can get a 24' class C for 1/2 that price and use that extra money for fuel and it will be a lot more comfortable. > > Dennis
