If it's just for camping/etc. why bother with the extra seating.  If you have more than 2 kids, get the weekender.  Otherwise get the full package.

> Hi,

My wife likes the 7 passenger interior without the stove/sink, etc.  I'm on the fence, since having the stove and sink inside the van for rainy or windy nights would be nice.  In nice weather, I agree that I would rather cook outside the van.  Also the flip-out table doesn't seem like it can take the abuse of kids leaning heavily on it.  Note this is a 3rd vechicle for us - so it basically a camper/beach/bike/ice cream run vechicle
