I think if you wanted to do more off-roading with your camper, that it would be more desirable to have the syncro. I also think the resale value of the 2 wheel camper retains it's value quite well too. The Vanagon Camper is a very unique vehicle for it's price range in either 2 wheel or Syncro. Since they are not being sold brand new anymore and since the EV version is so much more expensive, I would imagine that it is a very attractive deal. I've had several people ask me if I would be interested in selling mine. To me, that's quite a complement. I've never had anyone ask me about selling any other vehicle I've owned other than my '68 bug.
