Hi Steve,

Those are two reasons why I wouldn't have a van. I've written here
before that I went from a Suburban to a pick up and one reason was not
to have all that stuff in the same compartment as the dogs and me.

I used to have an old beat up Econoline van..... it was scary to drive,
it felt like it was going to tip over making turns..... I would
practically come to a stop at intersections if i was going to turn.

All that said, they do make good tow vehicles.
