I've had my vanagon for 1 and one half years and I use the appliances at least 2x each summer (4x so far). I've gone to family reunions and cooked several salads (yes...some need cooking)...several breakfasts.

My wife and I enjoy camping but not at the "primitive" level. We cook inside and eat and hang out outside. The appliances let us go hassle free...no need to worry about cold and rain... > >How much/often do you use your "appliances" in the Westy, and (while we are at >it), how many bring other grown-ups with you, and use BOTH beds? > Usually only use one bed...so...I like the headroom of the popup...
