 In the scene right when the campers pulled up in front of the bunker after
scurrying across the flats at the beginning of the fighter attack there is a
shot looking out from the bunker as people are scrambling out of the campers
I thought that I saw (just for an instant) a tan vanagon not a camper in the
extreme right of the frame. Of course it could have been a halucination
brought on by butter and salt poisoning. 

See ya on the road
