A small liklihood "heads-up" ... if you have cracks or chips in the windshield, be very careful about taking the van indoors anywhere, where it is significantly warmer than where the van has been sitting/driving as those chips will likely turn into very loooonng cracks across the windshield. I've taken vehicles from below freezing temps while driving to a shop, then they take the vehicle inside and the crack immediately appears. This would include using a car wash ... another source of helping your locks to freeze up as well. Sort of a simple physics thing about molecules quickly expanding 'n retracting.
