I'm in my 5th Westy-84, my first water cooled. I have been on the road
many times and felt tired-- no problem- jump in the back nap awhile
waken make coffee- snack if I feel like it and on the road again.  After
all the getting there is the fun part.  On awakening in the mornings, I
usually cook oatmeal and have apiece of toast or two with jam or jelly-
and lots of good coffee-- not the swill bought on the road at exorbitant
prices.  Always keep fresh fruit in the fridge, nice and clean and cool.
And I have a place to wash myself as well as cleaning up after eating.
Also the luxury of having a nice clean place to relieve ones self (porta
potty).  There is no end to the convenience and luxury of traveling self
contained.
    Now setting up a campsite and using a picnic table and campground
facilities is o.k. but give me the self contained experience every time.
     What happened to my other Westies? Well two were completely worn
out (over 300k on each), one was stolen, and one was totaled in an
argument with a semi, while parked.
       As long as the fire in your belly burns for a Westy, you'll love
it, even though they are testy and cantankerous- and require constant
attention to details and warnings...
     Bottom line, ask anyone who owns one. They are cussed and loved,
IMHO  much like a good woman..   Go forth and enjoy--  Bud
