It's kind of sad really. Several times a day I think, "we'll that would be handy in the van" or "that would work in the Westy".
Maybe because it's slow today, but I was thinking a thread with one-line hints, kind of like 'hints from Heloise' for the Westy household...?
Keep a couple of quart milk jugs of water in the freezer, handy to chill fridge on the road for spur of the moment camping trips.
Or
Shoe bag on back of seat for storage. |

Better to be looking at it than looking for it.
Never notice that driving by at 30 mph!
Not building a piano!
Don't eat yellow snow!
Bite your tongue but don't make it bleed.
Shut your mouth and pay the light bill!
Have fun but be good.
If it's wrong...don't do it!
So much wisdom from my father...
Some of these can even be applied to a Westy...I think.

The best advise my father gave me when I started driving
and is now especially relevant behind the whell of my 82 Westy...
"Assume the other driver is a complete idiot
and is about to do the stupidest thing you've ever seen.
He will rarely disappoint you" _________________ "The floggings will continue until morale improves"

I need to drive a vanagon to carry all the tools that I need because I drive a vanagon.
