With the family trips of 7 a pound of bacon, a pound of sausage, and then
either eggs, hash browns, French toast, or pancakes (not every morning
though).  So yes, I am rendering lard! The curtains, canvass, upholstery,
and fuzz on the top will absorb a lot of vaporized and splattered grease.
And I hate cleaning the van.

For dinner I grill the protein and vegetables on my Campfire Grill using
charcoal, not a campfire.  I have both the 18" with the optional charcoal
pan and the Rebel, and they are great.  http://campfiregrill.com/  We eat a
lot of seafood broken with the occasional rib eye, and sometimes my son in
law actually catches dinner!  Usually Dungeness crab and salmon.

We always camp along the west coast, and our favorite spot has moorage so my
son in law and daughter can sail up to join us.  We are never far from a
decent store!

This is a phenomenon I have not noticed in my 230+ Westy camping trips while
cooking full meals inside for often five people and sometimes six. Are you
rendering lard in there or something?

 Frying just coats the inside of the van
with grease.
