I have owned this van for 3 Years and have had no major problem. I have maintained with routine oil changes. Transmission oil change and differential oil change.
I usually flush the coolant/Anti freeze once a year.
I had it lifted I Texas while I was out there working and brought it back to California. The lift is a 3” one with 31” tires. That gives it about 4.5 in of lift.
The truck rides great. I've just changed all the body mounts, engine mounts, and idle arms which are known weak parts of the front suspension. So there is no squeaks.
NOTE: If you want you, can swap in a transfer case out of a 4x4 Chevy Blazer and have full electric switched 4x4 , 2x4 with HI/LOW Range. Little modification is needed. I didnt go down this route because i have never needed it and from what i've been told the AWD is much better in the snow
The Rear seats have been removed to allow for Bed and storage.
The Van is set up with a memory foam mattress to sleep 1 comfortable or 2 at a squeeze. The rest is designed to carry everything you may need. Some of the storage is accessible from the rear and some the front. It still has some work on Cabinets done to finish. I'd say it 70 % depending on what you want.
This Van ticks all the boxes.

Interior pics of the 2005 GMC AWD

The interior is set up for 1 person or 2 if your significant other is small.
Its also designed for maximum storage.
When i camp i usually attach insulation to the windows to keep the heat in a night and out in the morning.For this reason i never installed curtains.
