If you have the funds I recommend a Fiamma. Contact member 1der for more info.

If your budget is only a few hundred I recommend a CVT. I've had a couple of these and love them.

Ended out making my own shower stall that hangs off the back of the van...telescopic pole mounted to the roof rack, and a simple shower enclosure from EBay - works great & quick to set up.

I don't mean to nitpick, but that was a big Horn sheep, not a goat. We see a lot of them every time we float the San Juan.
But what a great trip to break in your van.
I really enjoyed the pictures.

NOW THAT IS A WHAT A GREAT FORUM MEMBER POSTS FOR THEIR
TRIP REPORT!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!! Took us with you there JohnS!!! FANtastic!! Great to see the pics so we can judge for ourselves if that is something we could do or want to do! And the volume only makes it better! Know the feeling of using Google maps or the built in GPS on the van...takes you to the impossible route or through the roughest parts of town in the city I swear! I have been touting an App that is great at finding campspots no matter who they are run by ie National Park, City Park, BLM lands etc...it is called the "Ultimate Campground" app... have both USA and Canada versions...can't stress enough how much you'll use it along with the app you were talking about for ultimate use of your SMB...What is its name? Bring up the "Whats your van..." thread and add your van name and story! With that kind of FIRST POST....I CAN"T WAIT to read your many others to come!!! Thank YOU for charing!!!!

And hey "Bad Luck"...210-220 whatever it takes...lolol!!

Thanks for all the compliments, I have to admit my wife Janet put this together, I'm just the driver. LOL
CTB I will check out the app.
Also 86Scotty I did see the group buy for the Fiamma awning, and did actually buy my swivel bases from Ider, but for the awning I will have to wait for another one (re-grouping from this trip).
