Dang Toni - I saw your van too and was wondering the same thing! Too bad we couldn't hook up. My wife and I were at the biennial CSSA Convention. This was our third time in six years. We came home with the van stocked to the gills with succulent purchases - a lot of fun. We camped in the Mojave Desert for a couple of nights on our way to Tucson - really nice time of year with a lot of stuff flowering including some Echinocereus. It was darn windy though. On our way to and from the convention it seemed that we were always driving into the wind. Really killed our mileage, we managed about 14 MPG for the whole trip (1,600 miles), really poor. The van is also not a lot of fun to drive when it's windy (even with GoWesty 15" rims), you really can't relax. The Girl ran great though with no mechanical problems at all.
