The best chance on how to prevent troubleshooting a failure in a down pour and/or on the side of a freeway? Ok, I can answer that. A Vanagon with a Subaru engine and manual windows. Seriously.
Other changes that "I" think would be great? Manual window on the drivers side & a power window on the passenger side. Windows that open in the way back next to the passenger(s). Maybe a light over the sliding door opening? This is something I haven't seen but I have heard of and might be worth the time to engineer & install. Be real nice if you could do the on/off from in back OR up front. Things we might have already that are important? The rear window defroster, heated mirrors, map light for the passenger over the glove box & the sky light/roof vent if you camp in your Vanagon.
