Hi Craig- your thread is getting useful feedback. I just added a pretty general response emphasizing the need to ask the question "Exactly how do I want to camp in my Pacifica? I will add more specific about my own solutions. I also started a new thread on tents for the Pacifica. could have just posted in your thread but really want feedback on this one issue assp- need to buy soon.
Hope all is well with Flo and the family

Hope to have more conversations so the "friend' invitation is a way

Craig-
How nice to know you are a neighbor. We live in Granite Bay. Thanks for the camping tips, hope your thread start gets more input. The one about the 2300W inverter under the seat sounds interesting. I was just looking at portable solar generators as an alternative: less power, more flexible for van and home use, and can be solar recharged. Small enough to not take up much space. Lots to consider.
Just got back from Home Depot with #4 4x8 sheets of ply to cover a yard project that the rains are threatening. That thread has some good ideas to protect the interior.

Can you point me the way to start a new thread myself? Probably an obvious way to start one, just can't find it.

I had a 1967 VW cabriolet named Griselda while in college. After a winter of ice, salt & sand on New York streets her floorboards gave way. Drove for months with a street view through the floor. Also had a 1958 Microbus named Max, but that's another story.

Ok SWguy. I went to "2017+ Chrysler Pacifica Minivan General Discussion" and started a new thread asking if anyone has used their Pacifica for camping and if so, the configuration that they used. Let's see if anyone has suggestions.

Hello SWguy,

We are neighbors. I'm in Elk Grove. Flo is a 1967 VW Beetle. We put about 25 miles per year on her as she is mostly a hobby for my wife. I think that once you get to ten posts the site lets you see pictures on other posts such as my garage. I would like to see a camping thread also, lets see what we can do.

Hi Craig-
Thanks for the welcome message to forum. Looks like I am your first visitor message, so good time to connect I think. What part NorCal are you in? I am near Sacramento. I see your garage has a vehicle named "Flo" - what's her brand name? Love it when folks have a term of endearment for their car, if that is what Flo is. Maybe that is a title for a new thread: " What name have you given your vehicle?" Usually an interesting personal history back of that. I would like to start a new thread on a camping question, but have not found a way to do so on the forum. Would appreciate any guidance you can offer. Hope to hear from you again-

Jon
