Subject:Re: Phreighda�: What one thing would you change abo ut a westy interior?

I'd like for the water supply to be under the sink and the
sink/stove/fridge unit to be enclosed and portable and easy to move in
and out of the van.  I want there to be only a well-sealed connector
outside the van for electrical hookups.  Dang rust....

Oh, and I know it's more than one thing, but I'd do away with the side
cabinets too and have a wider back seat.  I'm 6'5" and need room to
move...
