Roadtrip!
It looks like I'm going to see almost the entire legnth of interstate 80! The SVX is nice and all, but it is a bit hard to fit a full kitchen in and bed in, but the uber rare Vanagon Syncro Westy fits the bill quite nicely, so I may need to run up to canada a little north of Detroit to pick one up ... It has a cult following much like the SVX, but being much rarer the 4x4 gear is worshiped and sacred, and it has the same powertrain layout as the subaru, but with the engine in the back!

My choice for the 'road trip' has (for the last 30 years ) , been the 65 Dodge A-100 van! you can outfit it any way you want, and with proper gearing, get 27 MPG. The one I have now does nowhere near that, but it will pull a sled better than most 4X4 p\u's! (tractor pull lingo). It has a Chrysler 413 and a hemi clutch pac 727, Usually, I have a 318 and 3 speed, w 2:73 gears, and 15 in tires. The vanagon will cost MANY $$$$ and the Dodges can be had for the TOW. But you have to 'clean them up a tad".
I will never be without an A-100 till I forget what a toilet is for!!
