Vacay included two nights at Bro-in-law's curb, suburban, as planned, plus five unplanned nights at a campground when the pop-up camper's double bed bunk broke-- I was VERY grateful to have been prepared. At Jim's I used pieces of mosquito netting for the front windows and wished I had a line run out for the fan. At camp, I did that the first night and then for the other nights, I threw an old, large screenroom over the van, left the side doors open as well, and DID run a line for the fan. I propped the big old box fan on the front seat armrests and bungee'd it to be sure it stayed put.
Talk about comfort! The rear shocks/springs were such that I had to park on a real incline to get the bed level-- spent the first two night practically standing on the backs of the front seats, to keep from sliding through the crack between them. Once I got it level-- so nice, except for Hardi being in the camper's narrow mate's bunk with an injury.
Amenities included two powerful battery lanterns for bedtime reading, a clock inside a knee-high stocking hung from the coat hooks, and a pee bucket (with privacy screen hung on a line between trees). I had a square of camping pad covering the gravel so I could step out barefoot and then find my sandals, and a towel as a rug inside so I could wipe bare feet before getting in the covers. The cinderblock step would have been nice if we had brought it, but I muscled up enough that by the last night I was hopping in easily.
Had to leave the box spring and mattress at my sister's to make room for a large cabinet she had made for us, but we bought a huge pop-up for future expeditions. According to my reading of WalMart policy, if we are real quiet we should be able to pop up there for one-nighters in transit and run lights/fan off the 12-volt aux battery.
I may still set up the van for future solo boondocking, now that I know how to do it comfortably. And we have a plan to try to make room for two in it, as well, without bunk beds! :~)
