Max,

There's one other thing you might consider, at least from my point of view.

If you will crossing any border's (ie Canada / Mexico) and are randomly
picked to be searched. The first thing you might want to tell the agent is
the location of this "Hideout".

Of course they already know the best spots in a Westy, probably many more
than we came up with. So if they stumble on your laptop location, they may
figure you have other, less desirable stuff stashed elsewhere and really
tear your Beloved Van apart.

Just a thought.
