Current van, drove 60,000 + miles in the last 3 years, no breakdowns, now has over 211,000 miles on it.

I'd load up the fridge, the luggage, the family and the dog and go anywhere in it right now.

The list and the web don't provide a representative cross-section of reliability info, problems and repairs get the majority of press. Not many people post when their van is running great except in the occasional trip report you see on-line.
