Your response to rising gas prices?
#18
Driving a lot vs a little is a real factor. I could be in a schoolie or a v-10 powered class C if I drove just 5,000 or fewer miles a year. 

My 77’ 1 ton 4x4 with the 8 foot truck camper got 8 MPG driving, which about ran me out of fuel a few times. High winds made it even worse. Sure was convenient to have a small kitchen and heat though.

Maneuvaribility is a factor too (a plus for the mini) yet minivans have relatively low ground clearance and P rated tires, vs full sized E-350’s.  I’m sure a minivan, carefully driven, can get down quite a few roads, but I wouldn’t go too far with one without a tow strap and a friend... Theres a tradeoff for every attribute it seems.
