EV MV = What I and I think Ric and several others have. Fold down rear seat bed. two rear facing "jump" seats for "middle" seat. pull up table w/ flourescent light above it. EV MV Weekender = almost camper Added pop up roof (Westy not Winnie) One of the rear seats isn;t pull out and has a D/C powered cooler under it. You figure out which suits the bill since you described a combination. Ric's beed describing taking his MV camping successfully. We use a cooler plugged into the Cigarette lighter. Bigger and probably better than the cooler seat version. I can even seatbelt strap mine into one of the two jump seats. The jump seats take seconds to pop in and out. Rear seat takes moments to fold down. More time removing the headrests than anything else. No experience with the Winnie "low-profile" pop top. Much sleeker looking than the Bay window or Vanagon pop tops. Course it will have to be a '93. Typical price for a '93 MV seems to be 14 or 15K. I get as good a gas mileage with my EV as my silly brother gets with his Dodge. About 19mpg. I understand the standard transmission gets better - I wish I had it but the auto works well. bill and diane killian zen and the art of ferrets mailto:killian@zenferret.com mailto:killian@mnsinc.com http://www.zenferret.com/
