I would never bring this up if the owner himself had posted it for sale here, but since it's brought up as a topic to discuss from an unaffiliated third party, I think this brings up an important issue. Meaning no disrespect to the OP; What happens when the very foundation that you've built...

I luv the factory option 4x4 look it has. Great looking van.

Thanks RKrawler, and I agree whole heartedly. None of those examples were of rock crawling; they were all just out and about exploring in the mountains from A to B. Once in a while I do push the envelope a wee bit just to experiment and get a more educated idea of what the van is actually...

Mojo, there is actually 16" less length from the back or the seats to the rear doors in an Astro than a Vanagon. That was a stcking point for me while making the same decision you are contemplating. Remember, the vanagon is a forward control, so everything it moved forward. Now, that being...

Yeefrikinhaw baby! Looks awesome. Whattya think?

I actually prize my low range transfer case that comes along with the 4wheel drive more than the added traction. I find myself doing a lot of long steep climbs on loose sketchy terrain in the mountains and i like to put it in low range and utilize all the mechanical advantages of low gearing...

I thought you said you were in cell phones! Herbie, where do you come up with this stuff?

Looking good. :26_7_2: The fact that you can travel with all the creature comforts of an RV in that small of a footprint, allowing some nimbleness in the back country, is awesome. Looking forward to reviews on the shower and the fridge in particular. Is your new fridge set up easy for the...

Hmm. Still nothing for the AstroLander.:(

Where are you located? Seems to me Brian complains about 2" up travel on the SMB also. For some reason, I get the impression you are southwest. For comparison sake, if at all possible, I know Railvan Sportsmobile Brian would be more than glad to compare his van's ride with yours...

My brother in law strapped one bungie hoizontally from the outer edge of one from seat all the way across (behind) to the out edge of the other front bucket seat. It goes across the back of the front seats at about the top of the seat itself (not the head rest). Then he tied shorter bungies to...

Southwind is a quality shop.

I don't like to push people into big comittments or anything, but with your knowledge and skill set and active lifestyle...I'm just saying...
