…and this was in a big ol’ van, with the back seats removed. I can’t imagine the poor saps who try this crap in the back seat of their tiny econobox car.

(Historical Notes: This was one of the reasons I was crazy enough to actually try this AGAIN at AWA several years later.  I knew I hadn’t done enough to prep the van for prolonged habitation this time around, and wanted to see if it would be any less cramped and awful if I took out ALL of the back seats and gave myself more room it spread out.  In fairness, that attempt WAS better than the weekend I spent crawling over seats here, but… well, I’ll save that for when we actually GET to that AWA.)
