Don't know if your Syncro is some form of a Camper or not,
But what i would like to offer is that any Westy Vanagon or
Adventurewagen...........
being as it's a little house actually.............
just sitting there it's lovable and cozy and fun to hang out in, picnic in,
and so forth.
I use mine for a computer office with a fine view of the local mountains,
- as a place to visit with a friend and have tea,
and so on.
Or.........you can drive it ( depends where you are of course )
............to a not too far away camping place........
I have perhaps half dozen or more national forest campsites within an
hour and half drive of where I am in Southern Oregon..................
So you just drive to a nice place not that far away,
and camp for 3 days, and you don't drive the van at all while you camp
somewhere.
You hike or bike locally from the campground , and don't drive around .

Depending on where you live of course.............you could do a 3 day
camp deal and use say...........5 gallons each way max,
and have a fine ole time - you don't have to actually *drive* a westy or
any vangon made into a little living room/kitchen/bedroom to get great
value and satisfaction out of it !!

And you save wear and tear on the whole vanagon too !
