Andrew you need to go talk to your Dad about this.
P-mail me If you want to hear my experiences living out of a 1972 Cabana
26 foot motor home in Ft. Lauderdale for 90 days in 1973. I was 33 at the
time and had funds to stay for a year if I chose to.
Roughing it in a Westy is pretty much out of the question unless you just
happen to have an insatiable spirit of adventure or want to write a book
about it.
