[VAC] Re: Van as tow vehicle

[Karen Waldo <landyacht76@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Louis,
There are several of us on the list who have full size
vans. My family and I travel in a Chevrolet Express
conversion van. My parents have always had a full size
van. The biggest plus is the extra interior room. Our
sons are 17 and 20. All 4 of us are not small people.
We also travel with 2 dogs in crates and our bicycles.
We have had 1 passenger van and 2 conversion vans so
far. All 3 have had the option of removing the last
rear seat. That frees up a lot of room for extra
storage. Another plus with the van is that when we
arrive at our destination we are not "worn out" from
being cramped in a vehicle that borders on being too
small. The captain chairs on the conversion vans are
large and roomy, as are the bench seats. 
As far as towing with the van, we couldn't be happier.
I do have to admit that I have never towed much with
anything else. 
My personal experience with traveling in my sister's
Suburban is that the seats are very uncomfortable. The
are too low to the floor and too short in the seat
lenght for tall people. Even the kids have complained
about them. 
Good luck with your decision.
