Thomas Edison took a 20 minute nap each day and look what he accomplished!

I have been taking naps at work from time to time too in the Westy.

Whether on the road or at work-can you think of a better place?

And if it breaks down or a flood is approaching- it's a refugemobile.

When Napster came out I thought it was a new expresso lounge!

Too bad!  That's what my Westy is when I'm not camping. I have lunch, make
an espresso, wherever my job takes me .

When the" roach coach" blew it's horn at my last job I headed for the Westy.

And what better place is there for lunch?

There is one good reason why my Westy is a daily driver. Granted I only
come to my office twice a week, it is a 70 mile roundtrip which requires
me to get up at 4:30AM. The drive is not bad as it is 99% Highway, however
as the day progresses that early rise starts slowing you down, So I skip
lunch and later on the day skip to the parking lot, hop on my westy and
it's NAP TIME!! I come back to work energized, coherent and less cranky.

My Westy encourages overall well being and it's endorsed by the NIH and
Harvard Medical School. How is that for a NAP Mobile.
