People from the USA/CA seem to largely think their vehicle needs all
kinds of extra gadgets and doodads to make a trip of any consequence.
People from other places seem more content to set off with only the most
basic of equipment and just wing it from there.

As for myself, I used to have Westfalias but have gone back to a regular syncro passenger van.  And mostly car camping with a prius if it’s just a couple nights.

I’m always amazed at seeing people on round the world trips in Unimogs.  I wonder where they are going and if they really need that type of vehicle.  It seems to be mostly Germans driving them.
