Interesting Statistic

87% of Toyota's sold in the last 20 years are still on the road today...

It may be a throw away statistic, because most people do continue to repair cars... or scrap them so the statistic may be the same for any manufacturer.

OK, that was just a stepping stone to my next simple plagiarised topic.
"Why we are choosing a camper van"... as opposed to tent/swag/caravan/camper trailer.
-Instant setup. Doesn't matter if you arrive late to camp, or if it's teeming with rain - we can prepare a meal/relax/sleep straight away.
-Easier to select a camp site as you can just park, without needing to manoeuvre a van or have nice soft grass to sleep on. Rocks are not rough to sleep on in a car ;-)
-More economical.
-Wet ground and creepy crawlies are not an issue. Try convince your partner to sleep on the ground if you've just seen a scorpion, centipede, snake or spider. In our case, I think a car is better protection against black bears compared to a tent.
-Bail-ability. If something doesn't feel right, just start the engine and drive off.
