Well, yesterday my wife asked if we still have that van fridge.
Well, yes we do!
“Good, can you set it for Thanksgiving?”
So I guess it is finding use. And a relief from a state of execution, unlike the turkey from the local farm. |
This post made me wonder about the ways that our Vanagons have come in handy during the holidays. The fridge adds to household refrigeration capacity. Our van has been a guest room more than once. @Sanchius has mentioned using the van for food bank runs.
How has your van shown off its multi-purpose value during the holidays?
While I'm at it, I'll leave DuncanS's holiday van here

Our local "The World's Fastest Half-Mile" speedway hosts a holiday light show. It’s always a blast to load up the van with family, hit the track, and try to reach 50 mph!
