We decided on a '08 KIA Sedona shorty with 12k on it which was a steal on the used market with full remaining warranty. With modern traction and stability control, we manage Wisconsin winters nicely without AWD.

Here it is rigged out on our 8800 mile trip to Alaska a year ago. It never missed a beat. Nice cushy futon mattress inside kept us comfortable for 6 weeks. Took the Schwinn CrissCross along

250 ponies and loaded to the gills, we still got 21 mpg highway
Have you hauled a tandem in this? We considered getting one of the later models of these that have the timing chain instead of the belt.
