We are driving down from Portland to attend. Looking forward to it. Too bad I don’t have time to run the Rubicon ahead of WNLRR. That’s probably my favorite trail I’ve done.
It's tough to figure out the ideal layout that will work best for you. An RB van is so cramped for space. We did the 4 captain chairs layout and a dinnete to bed conversion behind. It leaves us just enough space for a rear fridge and sink/storage across. It all just barely fits.
Diesel vs Gas
I've only ever had gas vehicles before my van and they've been been great to me. Some things break and/or wear out no matter what vehicle. My van is a diesel and I get in, start it up and say, "damn this thing is cool...". I drive a lot, tow sometimes and really enjoy the diesel...
MG front Sienna mounts
I'll take those front Sienna swivel mounts off your hands! I've had Sienna seats for the front for a while but can't get mounts so they are just sitting unused. Let me know.
X2 - you'll actually find some vendors on EBay that have tons of van parts (ex. Fam Vans in So Cal). I've replaced a handful of interior pieces without issue.
