.� We carry extra chairs,
table, big cooler, dutch ovens & charcoal, fire starter, a small Weber
grille, large dog, & our clothes, toiletries, etc. in the westy, & are
able to be completely ready for cocktails in camp in 5 minutes.

We�pack much the same way and it is quite doable.� There is one swingaway rear carrier with a built-in streamlined box with integrated lights (Rola?) that might be less clumsy than some others, but you don't want to take too much stuff.� Consider a swingaway for the rear for hatch and engine access.� Very clumsy otherwise.� You can actually fit too much into the van.� Maybe one of those other carriers for extended wilderenss camping, but probably not needed in normal�travel with access to stores as you need things.
