Vans seem to be all the rage these days, and we have been talking about them on the Toyota thread. I try to keep up with the latest in car fashion, so to go with the beat up '97 Tacoma we picked up one of these:
That's not ours..We just drove out to Colorado to pick it up at the end a of May, and we spent a week and half getting back via dirt roads.
It is a Winnebago Revel, a new model based on the 4X4 Mercedes Sprinter.
It is already paying off---I did a four day fishing tour with hail, thunderstorms, mosquitoes and horseflies. The van gave me a great place hang out when I needed a refuge, I knew one great creek-side spot where the evening fly fishing ought to be stellar. The track in was all mud, but the van slopped right on through. The evening fishing was horrible, but at 6:45 AM a mayfly blizzard erupted, and I caught 15-20" rainbows as fast as I could cast. By 8:00 they were full, and I kept one for my dinner as well. Would not have driven in or a spent the night without the new rig.
