The van I own is actually a 1989, but facebook doesn't recognize this as a model year. This is a very interesting vehicle, mainly because the previous owner made it into a camper van. This van has a 3/4 size bed, microwave, captains seats, cupboards, a table, and a comper top. It is on its second engine with the body totalling nearly 300000 miles. It's a great vehicle to putter around the back woods, however it is NOT good to get this thing stuck as it is rear wheel drive, and is weighted down. One problem I have with it, obviously, is the gas mileage. It tops around 13 mpg with a 20 gallon tank. Needless to say it wasn't driven much when gas was close to $5.00 a gallon. Currently, I use it to haul around my crap between apartments and as storage. It is, however, great to have when you need to bring 10 people to Dysarts to get some food. If someone wanted a full size van for use as a camper, I'd say get a newer one (unless it was free, as in my case) or get an actual camper. I honestly see no reason to be driving one of these as a main way of getting around. They make no sense to drive to the store or to get to work.
