Yeah, "camping" in a Westie....that's really what is called "car-camping" . When you pull your vehicle right up to a picnic table and live out of it...that is "car camping". If you spend most of your time inside, in your air conditioning, I'd say you aren't camping anymore, you are "RV-ing" I'd be really put off if some Westie spied us in a formal campground and "camped" next door (because we are Vanagon folks, too) and then they fired up a generator to run their air conditioner and watch videos and run the microwave...etc etc. I don't really get the point of driving to some semi-remote "campsite" only to spend the whole time "indoors"...especially indoors in a Vanagon..You may as well stay home indoors or bring a "real" RV, one with a couple of pop-out rooms and some TVs and stuff.. Doesn't the majority of humanity do ok without AC?
