I'm about to make a long weekend trip in a 15 passenger van, headed into an area where the weather predictions don't sound favorable for outdoor activities. I've packed essentials of quilting. Featherweight, Ottlight, fabrics, cutters and rules, thread, cut & press board and mini iron, heavy duty extension cords, and a TV table. If I can't wing it, I have the netbook to download a pattern or two. This is not a camper or conversion van. It's a regular van, we've removed the back seats and put in a queen size bed. Not a whole lot of wiggle room, but I'll find a way. I'll let you know how I managed, unless they lock me up in the funny farm for trying.
