Almost by definition, camping involves cross-country travel. Maybe it's different in Europe...but I grew up in Northern California and I still drive the exact same '68 VW Westfalia Mom and Dad had at the time. And we took it camping. And I can't think of a single trip that we took that would have been within this vehicle's range. Worse, we would sometimes camp places farther from an electrical outlet than this vehicle could reach, let alone farther than the midpoint of its range. But, again, maybe there's a market for it in Europe. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
