Westy's appear to be a grand vehicle for traveling and camping, but i have never had an opportunity to use one that way, let alone even drive one to see how they handle. Yet a few years ago, I spent an entire summer camping out in Alaska in my '85 GL. I found it convenient, flexible, and comfortable for the most part. I never found a need to have cooking facilities inside, nor sink, nor even a refrigerator. In fact, cooking inside could have created a bear problem with the smells. So, what are some experiences of others with their various Van configurations. And how did you outfit yourselves with your particular rig.? I recently came into posession of a Carat, and I alread see advantages to having the swing out table and cup holders, yet I'm glad half the van isn't filled with cabinets. Gives me lots more flexibility - and I hate being cramped for space in the bed area - and the Carat has a full bed with the seat back folded down. Comments?
