Hello, Bill in Corvallis Oregon. I'm looking at one of these vans as a possible light duty camping/travel vehicle for a couple of geezers and have a few questions that I'll post in the appropriate forum. (I hope)

Hello and welcome
These vans are a great choice for a multitude of things. If fairweather camping is your style you can get by with a RWD and a factory G80. If you’re looking to get a little further off the beaten path and like camping in the snow? An AWD with some simple mods will get you surprisingly far.
Pour a cup of coffee and hit the search bar.
