All this fits into a vanagon?????

Good Grief!

You ever had it weighed to see if you are over payload?
Just curious.

If I had that much in my van I could not find a thing when I needed it.  I
like the "less is best" rule.

I am still bummed that vw didnt make the stove removable so you could put it
on a picnic table and run it off a bottle.  Everybody says they dont cook in
the van except for coffee. Perhaps the westy should have come with a coffee
maker and a camp stove?
