When I was a "young Buck" I hated mini vans, particular after driving one of my girlfriends ride...it was purple and had North of 300,000 on the odometer...stearing and handling could be described as "vague" at best!
  Fast forward to present day and I have owned 2 vans! A mini size cargo van and also the big tall size commercial cargo van ford makes in turbocharged.
  I go for cargo vans because I am single and because they are cheaper to get insurance...it was a hoot trying to get insurance for the commercial unit, the bank told me I could NOT drive a cargo van to work....really thought I was operating a business and trying to avoid commercial insurance costs!
  I proudly told them I live in America! Can drive a Dump truck to work if I Want to!!!

Forgot to mention I installed a good quality hitch made for this van and towed a U-haul open bed trailer with two large hot air engines to the (2016?) hot air engine show in Greenville, OH. And yes, I stayed within its towing limits. They're having the show again in July so don't miss it.

Hey Nick .... why not both!?!?!?

Great family mover Nick (now you guys can try for a daughter  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D)

That tent accessory looks like a fun (and cheap) nature weekend getaway.
