    Ode to be young again, this reminded me of all,the fun we had going to weekend outdoor concerts and camping. The van didn’t have a bathroom. We always camped close to the facilities. While living in Virginia, we rented a camping spot for the whole summer. We’d head there when we got off work.Cooked out with anyone who showed up. We love our musician friends that was some great times out sitting by a bonfire beside the ocean.The years of Harvey Walbangers, Boons Farms wines. You guys have fun.you can document all. Wow, I went before home computers.

    Brilliant van conversion, having an outdoor shower is a better use of space, a pop up tent or two, they can be joined together, depending on the type, will make the adventure thrilling for the kids. They are also useful as a changing room, when you have visitors, and as a daytime kids wc, they can never hold it long enough to make it to a restroom.

    @Amy Walker....they have both a potty and a shower. I am thinking the potty is a composting one since it was stored under the cabinet and they said they have an outdoor shower unit. So necessities are there and using them is part of the adventure. It's all how you look at it.
