What a topic - and what great stories.

I've lucked out in that Patty has fully embraced Bus Life. She likes it so
much she went and picked up that '78. Sure she isn't quite as obsessive
about it as I am (I have an illness) and we like different things about it -
however we enjoy busing together.

We do not have a Westy. It really doesn't matter to us. Sure a little extra
space would be nice - and the top bed would be good for when my son comes
along - but we can still camp in the Carat (and eventually in the '78.

I suppose that if she didn't like it - that would be OK. As long as she
didn't keep me from enjoying it as well. Wouldn't be the same without her
though.

I recall a guy (he may have been on this list at one time) many years ago
who had a beautiful Westy with all the gadgets, upgrades, and doodads. He
and his wife took it for a long trip. Bottom line after was she hated it and
I believe he sold it. That is a situation I hope to never ever be in.
