RE: The Westy as a Survival Pod

Another thing to keep in mind, especially for those of us on the Left Coast,
is what will happen to your rig in the event of "The Big One", the 7+
earthquake.  I'm talking about where are you going to be parked?  If away
from any structure that might come down on top of it or trap it in place
then you will probably be okay.  But if in a garage, or more importantly for
those in apartments or condos, under a car port, there is a good chance the
structure can come down on it.  And if parked in some multi story large
garage (not likely because of clearance problems in a Westy) the odds are
even better of being trapped and probably destroyed.
