Other:
Overall we have been very happy with the van and we are sad to see it go. But we want to try out something different.

MPG 15
.
It tolerates winter driving very well, see review of this here: Winter Vanlife Guide - FarOutRide and we would go with this van again over the front wheel drive promaster. We have done a bunch of winter and ski resort camping (and with a baby!). The van is a great setup for this.
.
My wife and I did this conversion. It is not perfect by any means but we think it will make someone very happy.
