Hi tom,
No one has ever brought it up as a issue. As such, if a person is coming as part of the group and using a tent rather then a bus or using a back up SOB vehicle, past practice is they follow the same rates as the Bus participants.
Hope that answers the question.
The more VW Bus family past, present, and future, the better.

I felt like I was chewing nails while walking on eggs, with spikes in them. It's not long now. I have seen and experienced the latest iteration of your van and it is really something. You and Heidi will be impressed. You will not have any trouble in any kind of traffic or windy road, including speed, acceleration, steering control and braking.
