Here's a snip from the article by Wayne Curtis:

"Such random routing is astoundingly easy when you're self-contained.
The VW camper is a brilliant invention � it's like a Swiss Army knife
for the road, possessed of everything you need and virtually nothing you
don't. It's the stealth RV. The roof scissors open to reveal sleeping
quarters, and it has a kitchen with stove, sink and a refrigerator that
holds about three days' worth of fresh food. It has cabinets and closets
galore. If you can find water and electric, great. If not, no matter. A
VW van permits extensive dabbling in geography while absolving one from
fretting over the whereabouts of the next meal or bed."

Nice job Wayne, in case you're listening...
