Hey David --- bet you'll get a lot of conflicting views about this. My vote is
go the full Westy route. I'll not that my Westy is my daily driver. First -- I
just love the fridge and stove. Especially the fridge. It is so nice to not have
to fish soaking food items out the water in a cooler. All those cabinets are
great too. We leave ours completely loaded for camping all through the season.
This means all camping clothing, nonperishable food items, dishes/pots/utensils,
toiletries and camping gear --- everything. So when we want to go camping it's a
matter of throwing some stuff in the fridge, the canoe on the top and the dog in
the back and we're gone. To me the weight that I tote to work every day is worth
making those weekend getaways fast and easy --- and very comfortable once you
get there.
