[pct-l] VW Bus verses Subaru Outback

[jerrygoller at backpackgeartest.org (Jerry Goller)]

It works great! I built a bed that cover the entire back of the van. My
cases fit under the bed. Kate and I don't have kids so I leave the seats out
of mine. The entire bed assembly is held in with two hose clamps through the
seat pins at the front. It's fairly easy to remove for two people. But mine
just stays packed all the time.

OK, sort of PCT related.  What's your recommendation for a vehicle.

I drive a Toyota pickup with camper shell. Works for transportation to
trailheads and car camping also.
How does the van work for car camping? Or do you do car camping?

I'm thinking about replacing my 1990 for something new.
