I ALWAYS, ALWAYS choose the locations without RVs.  If I find that I am
relegated to the RV parks with my van (not allowed in the tents only
locales, though other vans without a sink in them are), then I will
simply get rid of the van.  I have the van for its camping utility, not
because I am enamoured with a Vanagon.  I've only had the van a few
months, and have not had a problem so far.  But I am not spending time
and money to be corraled with idiots.  Dave Mc
