Great honest vid guys explaining a lot that people wouldn’t even think of considering when picking a van! Can’t wait to see the vids when you get it 👍🏼

[@nrmjessop1257]

We're not even thinking of buying a van and yet we agree that an honest bit of explaining is worth a mint.Well done Tiff and Cam.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers guys, can't wait to hit the road again!

[@merv190]

Hope it works for you, looks good. The truest statement you made was that van prices are outrages … I can’t believe the prices people pay for big vans then put a 200k wagon in front of it. Makes a Oz tent look pretty good to me. 😀😀😀

[@WildTouring]

Haha yeah I hear ya. Honestly if weren't planning to live in it full time for a lengthy period we wouldn't be buying a full size van. I'm quite comfortable sleeping in a swag for weeks at a time (which i will be doing again in the next couple of months).

[@EditzByjimmy]

Hey mate I have a 2020 Boab 621 if you want to have a chat about anything give us a message and I will have a chat.

[@Saingi07]

You guys look stoked with your new caravan from the get go in just talking about. This van was meant to be for your family . 👍👍

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Rosalie, we can't wait!!

[@kylra06]

Well done and thanks for just being real about what you do and say. Love the family and your practical, real world approach is so refreshing and relevant. Can't wait to see the new van. 🏖😀

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate!

[@Kasual_kampers]

Congratulations on finding a caravan, and possibly getting it so quickly. Pretty well unheard of these days. The Misso loved seeing how bubs was growing. Thank you

[@F_it_lets_go]

This was like watching our exact journey over the past 12 months deciding and finding and planning a van! Look fwd to seeing the van

[@awesometoursnz]

What a wee cutie(Brody) thanks for sharing your decision progress. I’m looking at a Rockwood 2608BS. Enjoy your new caravan, hopefully you have it by now and we’ll see your video of it soon. Stay safe. Cheers Mark

[@dad4x4adventures8]

So wrapped for guys, cant wait to see it in action!! Thank god Tiff was there with you Cam.....you got corrected alot!!

[@kevinbranch8096]

Great to hear guys, as so many people just dump their pets. Hope to see you all on the road, safe travels and good luck with the new van….

[@MiniLuv-1984]

That was sensational run down guys. Thank you - you've opened my eyes!

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Benny!

[@thetravellingpadburys8972]

Thanks so much guys! It's great to see the thinking that went behind the decision. Our values and wants align closely with yours, so it's always so insightful to see what has led to such big choices.

[@sea.nest.]

Congratulations guys. Very exciting. We enjoyed hearing how you came to this decision. Oh and Brodie is very cute.

[@asd67lkj]

I have had this video on my 'watch later' list for so long and finally had the chance to view and catch up. Congrats on the family addition, and finally making a decision on the new van. Probably had it away on a trip by now.....VBG....Going to have to catch up.

[@guseva1]

Great video guys full of the info that we have been looking for. You have literally saved my wife and I a lot of time trawling through all the data to find what we are after. Thanks so much

[@duanemonckton4558]

Glad to see you got a van sorted out. One thing I do say is definitely put the Carafan in. It is one of the best mods we have done we don't tape anything up. And we are dust free love it. Hope to see you's in Queensland one day. Cheers Duane & Janelle

[@anitaneat1010]

Glad that you've finally got your van sorted 😉. Looking forward to seeing your new travels. We have a Gator bunk van which we are really enjoying, but totally get the need to tick your boxes and also the fact that you can get something closer to you and luckily you will now be on the road sooner which is super exciting. Enjoy ☺️

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Anita. We can't wait to get into it again. Happy travels!

[@garyjones980]

Congratulations on the caravan purchase. Im sure youl love the vanlife!!! Keep the content coming guys.

[@petagee2204]

Aww Brody is a cutie💙 Very informative and honest pros & cons of buying a van. Totally agree how outrageous van prices! Best of luck with your beautiful van pick, looks amazing 🤩

[@scottme1990]

G'day guys have just watched your recent vid and would like to say that I think I've seen most of your videos and I love not only your content but the easy way you presented it . I watch just about everything there is to watch on caravan and camping and alot of other channels lose me and I find that I start flicking through their stuff . You don't seem to fill it with useless information and I also love your honesty. I rate people on the camp-fire scale . 1 log 1 beer right up to no beer left but we have heaps of wood and coffee. I think you are the latter. Cheers

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Scott, appreciate the feedback mate!

[@nick_lance]

Thanks for the tips and honest review guys. We've only just started out traveling as a family and have found all of your info invaluable (It even helped with pursuading my missus with buying a drone!). We've only just bought our first camping trailer, so when we outgrow it I'm glad this is here for us to review. Cheers.

[@morepawstravels]

Love your total honesty guys. Congrats on the decision and well done on the fast timeline…

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Wayne 👍👍

[@travisparcsi4267]

Another great video Tiff and Cam. I love your honesty and openness. The wife and I just watched and gives plenty of food for thought.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Travis!

[@lorrainehollibone5022]

Loved your video, so great seeing both of you again, congratulations on the new van , may you have many happy family trips away . Brodie is gorgeous, looking forward to seeing your first family trip away 🙂🙂

[@WildTouring]

Thanks Lorraine! Can't wait to get into it again as a fam!

[@chrisspies8123]

So stoked for you guys that youve found the van that meets you needs. Or most of them. Its such a tough market with so many options. You've done a lot of the research for us. But we are still in the second hand market due to the absolutely ludicrous costs of vans atm. But hey, like you said no ones getting free vans. Love you honesty and though processes in these videos. So practical and real world for the average consumer. Keep up the good work and cant wait to see what you reckon of the Willows, cause at a recent van show i really liked them too. And they were towards the bottom end of the cost spectrum. Brodie os such a cutie. Thanks for sharing him with us.

[@elainemcintyre4407]

Wonderful Memories thank you,good luck to you in your new van.

[@WildTouring]

Thank you 😊

[@louvandaele6240]

thank you for the post, look forward to feed back and following you on your travels, see you when it arrives into the yard

[@DonsShed]

Yep, we went and had a look at the Elross factory.... if money was no object, we would certainly have one of their vans, no question!!!

[@mitchwalmsley]

Sounds a great van, with heaps of room to aftermarket upgrade. Definitely go for aftermarket airbags. We have cruisemaster airbag suspension and would never be without it. Pull up anywhere and level it. If weaving through tight sections on uneven ground, you can tilt van using it as well. Enjoy it when it rocks up.

[@WildTouring]

Love the sound of it mate, I'll definitely explore my options fitting it aftermarket!

[@stephensmith5317]

love following your channel. always great honest content. beautiful family. your living the dream. all the best with the new van.. looking forward to your future. Steve & Christine

[@WildTouring]

Thanks Steve and Christine! Appreciate your support!

[@leannedecampo8110]

Loved listening to your reasoning behind choosing your van, can't wait until you get it as it means you'll be sharing your trips again. Brodie is so cute, can see Chloe in him. Prices are ridiculous. We have just paid more for our new van than we did for our first home on an acreage 28 years ago, crazy.

[@snoordman04]

Congrats on the new van guys! Absolute winner I'd say.. looking forward to the first trip and review.. cheers guys 🤙🏼

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate, cant wait!!

[@Aussie_Sox]

You really lucked out with delivery time. I ordered my Willow RV, direct from the manufacturer here in Melbourne, back in June 2021 with a delivery slot in Feb 2022. Due to COVID lockdowns and supply issues, I am getting it next week, hopefully. Here's hoping that we've both made a great selection.

[@WildTouring]

Yeah I think we just got lucky! But we'll see what happens. All the best with your new van mate!

[@janiceatkinson5112]

Yep, cute little boy. Congratulations on the new van. Looking forward to seeing the family out and about soon.

[@WildTouring]

Thanks Janice!

[@mudgutsthomas3934]

Congrats guys and I’m glad I could of helped out in some way! We get our 621 at the end of June and can’t wait. Hopefully we can catch up on the road sometime, all the best, cheers

[@WildTouring]

Thanks again mate!

[@j.b.struckinadventures4993]

You’re right, caravan prices new or 2nd hand are up there but you also answered why. You wanted a caravan to suit your purpose and so does everyone else. It’s a sellers market. But I don’t think overseas travel will change things much because it’s still really expensive and I think people are still a bit hesitant to travel with the current global situations

[@vanroamn9447]

Great video! Thanks for the shout out, was great to meet you guys in Perth. Hope you enjoy your new Willow as much as we do ours 🙌

[@WildTouring]

Thanks again guys, really appreciate the help!

[@kje1958]

Great news Guy's my wife and I have just purchased a second hand BOAB 621 Also 2021 Model Just a couple of things the red shockers that were under it ...had all failed ALKO Australia issued me with a new Model of the Shocks the are Black and are supposed be a better. yet to be tested. I am about to cut in a new door under the 2 Bunks to provide access to the space under the bunks from the outside Thetford Door 7 you said something about the gvm upgrade on the Van how do they achieve that we have I think 750kg Payload. good luck with your tripppping see you out there sometime. Kevin.

[@matfisher1018]

Congratulations guys!! It's been great listening to your research that you have done with what's out there on the market today. Also really enjoyed seeing you both on there announcing your new purchase. Looking forward to seeing the new beast up close in your video when it arrives.

[@WildTouring]

Thanks Mat, we're really excited to get it!

[@CptChilliRing]

Good stuff guys, it's great you've highlighted throughout the journey being conservative around weights and budget, it seems most have the mentality of just tick it up and she'll be right, safe travels

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Aaron!👍

[@mattblakiston8933]

Awesome stuff Wild gang. We're starting our hunt for a van too. Look forward to following your process.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Matt, enjoy the van shopping mate!

[@rison6574]

Congrats on your new van! When listening to your reasoning on choosing a van just want to say that almost all caravans have issues over time, sometimes from new. At least manufacturers like Jayco back up any warranty repairs. That is my experience having owned multiple Jayco vans. The one thing I know is that Jayco vans (double axle) tow well. A friend of mine bought one of the expensive boutique caravans (single axle) 18f and battled to tow it even with a LC200. Some of these have high tow ball weights. In any event the other point I want to make is that real 'off road' caravans are way shorter than 18f so the bigger you go the less you can use it for that purpose. I would focus on a well built caravan with good suspension and clearance that can deal with rough road surfaces. If you have that then good to go

[@JustcruznRob-AlanaBuick]

Congrats 🎉 guys, well done and can’t wait for the walkthrough. We pick up our Zone in October this year. Luv the banter between u both, very refreshing to see. Keep up the great work. Cheers Rob 🍻🥂

[@berko79]

Keeping it real as usual. Thanks guys. I also have to laugh at people who cover their van/cars with products when they clearly are at best getting a small discount. Glad we'll be able to get some honest feedback on the Willow and I hope it serves you guys well.

[@RoaminintheRobbo]

Congrats on the new van, looks awesome! Great end to the video, Brodie is too precious 💙

[@geoffdavis4214]

Not sure where i've been, but glad I have found you guys. Not an influencer to be seen. (Thank god). It's a mine field out there of information and crazy prices. Love your elimination process all made sense in the end. Good on ya.

[@grahammcbride7866]

Congratulations guys You’ll love the willow we’ve had the ironbark 6522 for a couple of years had virtually no dramas at all See ya’s out there 👍👍

[@WildTouring]

Thats great to hear, cheers Graham!

[@taringaturi6950]

Congratulations Team! See ya's out there on the black top and the red top for that matter👍🏾

[@707338c]

We installed an eBay "Belief" diesel heater in our 26' Jayco 4 years ago, $199! Never had any problems with it. Our brother installed the same, no complaints.

[@WildTouring]

Thanks for the suggestion, thats the kind of unit we'll go with!

[@punkweed1]

Congratulations on your choice of van guys, it looks great 👍. Really enjoying the content and can't wait for the walk through of your Willow.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate! Can't wait to get it home and make it ours!

[@leavingthegrindbehind]

Yeeew. Congrats guys. That is so lucky for the build slot! See you guys on the road in 25'

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Cal, can't wait to get into it!

[@robbiereddog4202]

Congratulations and and best thing with any of them it will 'make memories' as a family.

[@WildTouring]

Too right! Cheers Robbie!

[@gregm663]

Great choice! We bought a Willow 629, now have new DMax on order. Got lucky with the Willow coming early like you, now just need to get it out there. Insulation seems awesome so far, handles off road really well. You’ll be happy.

[@the_zeplin_maker]

Congrats! For a dual axle caravan I think you would be better off going load sharing suspension with shocks, which is alot better than independent coil/airbag suspension in my opinion. A lot cheaper too which is a bonus. For true off-road a single axle with independent probably the go.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate! Yeah calling a 20ft dual axle van an offroad model is a bit of a stretch really. But as long as its relatively solid enough to endure corrugations and has enough ground clearance to get us into some decent campsites, then we'll be wrapped.

[@philsymons9614]

Carcker vid Cam n Tiff, the banter between you both is bloody hilarious. Emu Point Caravan Park in Albany is a winner with kiddies, I went there 25 odd years ago as a teenager and then went back with my own wife and kids last year and the amount of money spent on the whole grounds has bought it up to an amazing level of hospitality, nice new clean toilets & showers, great outdoor bbq kitchen areas and an amazing kiddie zone with jumping pillows and mini golf. Cam now is the time to convince Tiff that it is time for a new Ford F350....

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Phil, yeah we stayed at Emu Point Caravan Park last year, its really well set up now! Haha I'll work on her for the F350 !

[@kingstonrose3431]

Just watched your video and thought, I have just removed our canister toilet and installed a compost, had it in for a month now and still haven’t had to empty it. No smell and no dump point every 3-4 days. Just a thought as we do mostly free camping etc and looking forward to no dump points once we hit the road again.

[@WildTouring]

Sounds good. It's something ill look into in the future, as the toilet canister generally fills up before we run out of water offgrid. For now we'll take a second canister.

[@Grahamrjohnson]

Now you have your van in hand, I rewatched your video and funny part is your thought progression led you exactly where we went. We love our Willow Van....... What you are going to find when your get the solar fitted is the fantastic build quality of the Willow cabinetry and the van as a whole. The reason it is so light is the amazing clip lock system that holds all the cupboards together and brace the entire van structure, AFAIK they are the only ones building like this...... I am fitting our huge solar/lithium system and the fact that Willow run all the cables inside the cupboards makes fitting Inverter systems very easy to fit compared to other vans.... You will see when your installer starts fitting your gear inside. BTW you are going to find the ball weight on your Willow van can be quite a bit less that the 10% that is generally stated. Shoot for 7% and you will gain back some GVM..... and still be safe. Fit a DEXTER while you are fiddling with it. Once again congrats, You will love it.... We will see you on the road over the next year or so...

[@WildTouring]

Funny you say that, have been pulling apart some cabinetry to fit a few things. And I was shocked how light the material is, and how well its all secured to the body! Went with the ALKO ESC from factory. Never had ESC before so its all new to me.

[@Grahamrjohnson]

@@WildTouring Yep its really is a class build. That plywood is amazingly light... Its called Falcutta ply....Most other vans use this ply but They just staple it together. Willow are on their own with the tab and screw cupboards.... I sacrificed one of the slide out draws under the the seats and fitted 600A/H of lithium instead. If you pull the cushion off the seat under the window. You will find a big void over the top of the Wheel well where I fitted our inverter. There is just a ply cover over it ATM. I hinged it and the 240V charger and Inverter fitted straight in. I got our Dexter from the USA at about half the price of here. I will send some photos to your email if you are keen. The wooden covers that run along the floor beside the bed are essentially wooden conduit. You can carefully lever the top off and run cables to under the bed. The ball weight builds up quickly if you start putting batteries and chargers under the bed. You need to try and fit the weight over the axle....7% ball weight is plenty in these vans with an ESC fitted...

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Congratulations! Looks like a great van. I’m being selfish here…😂….but I’m really looking forward to watching your travels a lot sooner now!!!🎉 Bubba is a handsome boy❤️

[@WildTouring]

Haha 😂😂 we can't wait to be back in a van together and on the road again!!!!!

[@DonsShed]

"Cute baby" is soooooooooooo cute!!! :) Great video guys :) can't wait to check out your new van on an upcoming video :) Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

[@johncampbell3628]

Congrats on your new van! And you are correct to get the van that ticks YOUR boxes. I have a JB Gator X which I absolutely love because it ticked MY boxes

[@WildTouring]

Cheers John. Yeah too right, everyone needs and wants are different. Theres no perfect options that suits everyone! Happy travels mate.

[@heinzmartin8266]

It’s like your in the lounge room having a cuppa and a chat, but no I didn’t talk back.lol Good luck with the new van. Cheers

[@WildTouring]

Haha cheers Heinz!

[@donfinch862]

Great! How exciting, and to get it early is a bonus. Well done guys and thanks for the update.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Don, can't wait mate!

[@debranty]

Hi guys.love watching your vids.you guys keep it real and it’s great. Keep up the good work.rodg and Debbie.

[@jackiemc862]

Your bubba has grown so much and is so damn cute! You both breed well 😉😂 great video. There are a lot of things we want in a van that’s the same. Less bunks. Can’t wait to see it. Oh and heading to get towels now!

[@newport5504]

Looks good guys, I can’t wait to see it in the future trips

[@grahamwaddell8588]

LOL @ wait for the price to go down - my wife and I are really keen on the Stoney Creek 2+2 14 foot - thanks to Cam's breakdown on the GVM etc video - thanks again for that - we can tow it - legally. Sadly the price has gone up and even waiting for the second hand ones to come out while international travel ramps up - is challenging. Haven't even seen a second hand one for sale yet. Hope you are both happy with your choice of caravan. Stay safe - safe travels.

[@julietaliana924]

Congrats on Master Brodie. Very cute indeed!!!!!!

[@CRDStudios]

Thanks Cam & Tiff, I've been eagerly awaiting your decision. Congratulations, seems like Willow is a good option. I remember seeing the 'Trip In A Van' video where they said they were super happy with the Willow but the main reason they changed to a SunSeeker was because Willow wouldn't come to the party when it came to payloads. I think from memory TIAV wanted about 1000kg payload but Willow wouldn't offer anywhere near that. So looks like Willow have done some reconsidering now that they are offering you guys 950kg. I considered Willow myself but they didn't do a 15ft van. I've been following your travels for a while and like you guys we started in a tent, then camper trailer, then Hybrid caravan and now we are waiting for our $90k 15ft Crusader CRV Hurricane, which we were supposed to have waited 6 months for but now after delays and more delays looks like we will get it after a long 12 month wait, hopefully June this year. It was great to see all of your thought processes in this video and the previous video because my wife and I had a similar experiences. I'm looking forward to seeing a van tour and reviews. P.S. Looks to me like Brody will be ready for his first camping trip as soon as you get they van.

[@darrindouglas1]

You both are probably my fav' couple on YT. No nonsense reviews and totally down to earth without any agendas. Shame you couldn't get a Zone van numbers to work. We really love ours, but' it's only us 2 in an 18.6 Base. Tiff, as much as you will love the island bed, and lounge, you will want to be outside for sure. We have only sat inside less than 3 times in the 11 months we have had ours. Being outside is much better. You just need a wall to cut the afternoon sun out..... #vanlifeisthebest

[@extremeacc101]

If you guys are looking at a good dust reduction system definitely consider the one they use in the mines RESPA. We have fitted caught a few of them check out some of my videos on their installation. They are more universal in insulation meaning you can fit them anywhere and it’s a little bit easier to clean

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Matt, had a look at your RESPA vid and a few others. Doing a great job on your builds mate!

[@dougneville9097]

G'day Cam,tiff and Brodie.Great informative clip,well done for keeping it real.Thanks😎

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Doug!

[@mickp10]

Your children have a great foundation....living within their means....and can't have everything at once 😊

Cheers mate, appreciate the comment!

[@lukehutchinson6754]

Nice view on your process and can't wait to watch the family trips 🍻

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Luke!

[@deanissit]

Thats great i saw the willows on the net. Good luck.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Dean!

[@kevinbranch8096]

Great to see and hear the honesty on vans you have researched. One thing, will you take your pooch with you when you hit the road again..?

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Kevin. We had originally planned to bring Percy, but we're reconsidering that now for a few reasons. We'll be spending a lot of time in National Parks that won't allow doggos, and I'm not too keen on leaving him in the caravan for extended periods. We're pretty lucky to both have parents in WA on acreage, and we're planning to have family stay in our house while we're away (rather do this than rent it out - if we can afford it!). So he will probably end up staying with family at one of those options!

[@anthonymcneil8778]

That’s a great option. I’ve looked at the Willow a few times at camping shows. The blokes that own the company were at Jurgens prior to starting Willow (probably why Trip in a Van went from a Jurgens to a Willow) and I owned a small Jurgens and the insulation was fantastic. If the Willow has similar insulation, and I think it’s the same, then you’ll have a great van. Well done.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Anthony. Yeah I heard they came from Jurgen! Fingers crossed it does what we need it to!

[@lfc286]

Gorgeous baby. We toured the Willow factory a few mths ago. It was great to see the build process. They were moving to larger premises to increase the number of vans they could have on the production line at the same time. I think upping to 11. Good thing you are doing you’re own thing with solar. They had had problems with what their supplier said the system could run vs what it could run. At the time they didn’t know what replacement product. We are waiting for an estimate to renovate our nearly new caravan. Seemed to be cheaper than starting again. And yes pls film the solar install.

[@WildTouring]

Thanks mate, yeah we noticed with a few van manufacturers that they favour some of the cheaper 12v gear. I guess to keep final price down. Will definitely film and explain our solar/lithium build.

[@wyattfamily8997]

You might consider an "underbunk" A/C for an offroad friendly setup, more secure and less chance of damage/dust problems.

[@lardybuff]

great discussion points, thanks. Hello young Brodie

[@MRMOPARMAN0426]

Obviously there is a whole lot more to a van than a frame and styrofoam walls. Im building my own hybrid atm. Im in the industry so i get trade price on everything, and its still going to cost me over $40k... For a 14ft single axle (with all the bells and whistles though) I think the van you guys selected is actually a really good price for what you are getting. Hopefully it exceeds your expectations.

[@gregpolynatsammy3614]

We love our Boab, i am sure you guys will enjoy it just as much.

[@WildTouring]

Great to hear guys! Can't wait to get it!

[@lhumpy190]

Thanks for rewarding us with cute baby hehehe So happy to hear you got such an easy baby and you might be hitting the tracks again soon.

[@Stephen0001]

Looking beautiful, Tiff.

[@phillipdean9879]

Hey Cam, we had a new Jayco flamingo outback, at 3 years old they were still fixing issues no charge. For us Thier customer service was excellent. We had no issues. We’re like you looking for a new van. We settled on a design RV. 9 month wait. It looks like it will be nice. 8-4 metres all up. ATM around 2500. Very well equipped we thought.. 🍺🍺

[@lynschostakowski8819]

Wow Congratulations on the new van. We r on our 2nd Jayco and love it. No problems at all. Can't wait to see the new van and its journeys. Brodie is growing and so cute.

[@WildTouring]

Thanks Lyn. Thats great to hear, we know that the majority of Jayco owners love them!

[@gail9906]

Looks so good Tiff and Cam. We here are so excited for you. Happy Travels..❤🇦🇺🦘

Nice video and congratulations! You don’t need to pay anymore than $150 for a diesel heater. I put mine in our hybrid myself and we use it all the time. Go for the ones with the wireless remote that has the LCD display on the remote. Feel free to reach out if you want to see my install, I can send videos or photos or if you are passing through busso pop in for a look. Also when installing make sure you have a master switch out of the way (so it can’t accidentally be switched off while hot or it will melt the Circuit board) but so that it’s not on all the time when not using it or the LCD panels flog out and go dull.

Cheers mate, appreciate the advice and the kind offer. I fit one to our camper trailer years ago, but i remember that some controllers were better than others. So ill have to do some reading up on it again.

[@JebbreysJibberish]

Yep absolutely. That’s why if you get the remote with the display you will get the better (red) controller.

Good to see you got a new van. Happy travels. Count your blessings you could not get air bags. Have travelled off road alot around Oz with our van. Good old coils dont fail, bags leak, puncture and give you one more thing to argue about.

Thanks Michael!

Thank you for this information. It is a mine field of information and this is very helpful. My wish list is very similar to yours less accommodating children. I do not have your travel experience so your insights are extremely valuable to me. Cheers

Happy to help, enjoy the van shopping!
