I don't disagree with you, but we already owned a Mopar minivan that would serve just fine for tent camping or, with a little work, camper van camping.� We didn't need the Westy for camping any more than we needed a third vehicle for any other purpose.� It's purely a luxury vehicle, almost in the strictest sense if you count the enhancement to the camping experience.

"...they camp rain or shine so they can get their money's worth out of it...."

This applies to any van purchase, if you think about it.� Our first night of camping cost us about $5000.��The very next�night brought it down to $2500 per night, etc.� We stopped counting when it got below $300/night.
