<DIV></DIV>&gt;The bottom line for many travelers is an awkward tension between money and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;safety. When traveling, especially in a Vanagon, one is usually the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;adverturous type who likes to see the world and NOT pay 50-200 bucks a night
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to sleep in a sterile hotel room.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;

<P>Actually, you'd be lucky if it was sterile, you really have no idea what kind of body fluid has permeated the mattress in a hotel, esp in the 50 dollar range... </P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;The amount of horror stories I have heard about strange things that happen
<DIV></DIV>&gt;in the highway rest areas makes me sick to my stomach. I could hardly
<DIV></DIV>&gt;believe it when someone told me that their Vanagon was slowly filled with
<DIV></DIV>&gt;"gas" through a cracked window, which allowed the thieves to come in and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;steal every little thing that they had, while the occupants were out cold.
