Not bad for a 28 year old vehicle.

That Darche 270 degree awning would be the single biggest improvement to camping from the wagon we have experienced. Next is having a decent amount of house battery capacity for running fridge and freezer and other electrical stuff.

The inside of your wagon looks pretty sorted. We kept the 270 degree awning up in some pretty strong winds. Just remember to put the poles down and guy all the arms down. And keep the two strops tight. Or you won't sleep for all the flapping noises!

Nice. Where did you go? We are always looking for new places to explore.
