[Ansteorra] Minivans pulling trailers?

[Ambience]

I'm on my third Chevy Astro Van.  They are excellent SCA vehicles.  We 
haven't used it to
tow often, but when we have it preformed well.  I have no trouble passing 
people on the highway.
You can get the van with rear AC, which is very nice for passengers.  Some 
vans are on car bases,
the astro is on  a truck base.  I drive mine all over Savernake without any 
trouble.  (I just have to watch
out for low branches)  My favorite thing about this van is I can put full 
sheets of plywood in the back.

The dutch doors are nicer than the regular doors in the back.
Optional towing package is very nice.

I get 18 mpg in the city and  21 fully loaded driving to Pennsic.
No major repairs under 100,000 miles, just regular wear out stuff, like 
tires, brakes, belts. ( I trade them in
just after the extended warranties expire)


Good luck,

Seraphina
