That's a nice story.

One day I was parked in some national park parking lot out west somewhere,
and I decided it was time for serious breakfast.  So I popped the top,
opened the door, and started brewing coffee and scrambling eggs with cheese
and mushrooms.  That got a lot of curious looks out of other folks!  Even
though we weren't stranded in a blizzard on the highway somewhere.

It would be nice to be able to offer people hot drinks out of the van when
stranded in a blizzard.  Even if there weren't enough bacon and eggs to go
around.
